All the Truth That's in Me

The author did a great job with making me as a reader invested in Judith. First you get brief bursts of knowledge about her in this wonderful and lyrical second person narrative. These beginning short burts are so beautifully written. It starts out like Judith cut off from her neighbors and her family because she is made mute by a man and her mother's orders because she has didsdain for the girl she came back as with half her tongue cut out. The short bursts become longer and longer as Judith realizes that there is more to herself than just these small glimpses.

I'd recommend this to those who like historical fiction, don't mind second person narrative and a book that has wonderful lyrical moments.
