Welcome to Litsy!

Hey, look what eBook is on sale for only $1.99? That's less than I pay for my morning maple cream cheese danish after walking my beloved dog, Jesse!

A Dutch prize winning book. The title means “Be Invisible” and it is a grand epic novel about a family's desperate struggle against a tyrannical father as well as the beautiful coming of age of a sensitive boy growing up in an unsafe world, based on Murat Isik's own childhood. Last but not least the book is set in my city, which adds always a bit!

I genuinely believe that this book has the potential to save a life.
This should be mandatory reading in high schools or college.

What would you suggest next?

Blessings and Deep Gratitude!

A tough read, but a definite pick. This book deals with stalking, the coping mechanisms used to get by, convince ourselves it‘s not really a big deal, the lack of useful services or help to deal with the issue, and the trauma and lingering issues long after the persistent looking over one‘s shoulder is finally over. Just like the #MeToo movement this is a topic that needs a bigger spotlight, because only by seeing how widespread it really is,⤵️

This is one of those books that is heartbreaking to read but necessary to understand what someone else has gone through. The author spent many years in an abusive relationship with a boy she started dating in her teens.
