Impressions

“Where Are You Going? Where Have You Been?” at first glance is a story about a murder, but it has much deeper backgrounds, including the time the USA were going through, the revolutionary changes of women of the time, the vulnerability and exposure, the verge between childhood and adult life, the relationships between parents and chilren, the loss of one's will, freedom and life. And though at first I wished I hadn't had to read it, the story is deplorable, sharp, thrilling, brave, meaningful, sometimes vivid, sometimes blurred, but first of all it is honest, and that is what makes it great. I just wish it could leave a little hope.
