Review of The Innocents (2016) by Deanomite — 18 Feb 2020
What came across to me more than anything was what a small world the nuns live in. Raped and pregnant, they only fear for their chastity vows in being medically examined. That is a very small world. I have read stories of nuns being used as servants and sex slaves for priests before, and the cost of ignorance really suffocates me.
The soldiers are ignorant of women as people, the doctors are ignorant of the Poles as human, the lover of the female doctor is ignorant of her having a choice in a relationship with him, and she is also apparently ignorant of it, since he forces her to have sex and afterwords they are lovers, even though he is a racist pig.
It is a world of un conscious people.
