I've been trying to read Elizabeth George's latest in the Lynley series, Something To Hide. It is maybe the most uncomfortable book I've ever read, but not because of her writing, which is typically brilliant. The subject matter of the book is FGM, and she goes into usual Georgian detail in describing the surgical "procedures", the "tools" that the operators use, and of course the ongoing impacts of the operations on the victims. Maybe the most hideous aspect, at least as represented in the book, is that the whole process seems to be run by and maintained by women. If you're like me and want to continue following the Lynley saga, just be forewarned that this one takes quite some fortitude to get through.
