SuitabookA history of glitter and blood
Hannah Moskowitz
- Reading
- Read in manageable sections and pause when the timeline or narrator changes. Keep track of who is speaking and when, then discuss whether the fractured form deepens the war’s uncertainty or obstructs understanding.
- Themes
- War, occupation and moral uncertainty: The book addresses war, occupation and moral uncertainty; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The conflict is presented as politically and morally unsettled rather than as a simple heroic war.
- Found family and expansive love: The book addresses found family and expansive love; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book presents this favourably.
- Prejudice and embodied difference: The book addresses prejudice and embodied difference; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to the treatment of sexual exploitation, assault, child sex work, mutilation, cannibalism or flesh consumption, character death, misogyny and racism. These elements may warrant preparation before reading.
