It's a real life account of an anthropologist who worked with forensic teams to investigate the mass graves from genocides in Latin America and it's pretty fucking interesting yet heartbreaking

This was honestly one of the saddest books I've ever read. I'm not going to spoil too much for you, but essentially it's a reflection of the life of a serial killer on death row told through the perspectives of women he'd interacted with throughout his life. Super sad, super well written, bawled my eyes out multiple times. If you liked the Lovely Bones, you'll like this one too, it has a very similar feel. If you haven't read the Lovely Bones, read that first because it was actually the saddest book I've ever read. Love crying over books man, it really gets you feeling human ❀

i was helping a friend move out and spotted this book a few months ago. immediately i asked if i could borrow it and she said yes & i was so happy. i even caught myself surprised with this because i hadn’t done like heavy reading in a fat while but i was somehow drawn to this. after i discovered this book, i remembered how much i actually love reading and learning. i think everyone should read this book, especially given what the world has come to today. it provides fresh insight through a lens critical of mass genocide and looks back on history, the people & their mindsets behind them, and the aftermath. really makes you think about how easily things could be avoided. its pretty small, easy to carry and just easy to read too so i tend to take it anywhere i go and read whenever i can because its gotten me that intrigued and curious Genocide (1985) – Edited by A. A. Galkin, published by Progress Publishers.

The first book I ever had to read in the secrecy of the bathroom when my parents deemed it too grownup for me to read at the time. Turns out the knew the whole time but decided to not spare me the trauma of reading it. The pages in my copy are still stained with my tears from all those years ago
