More about the book

Exploring the theme of social conditioning, the book delves into the skill of ignoring, a trait cultivated in well-bred girls to navigate societal expectations. It highlights how this ability extends beyond external interactions, leading to a disconnection from one's own thoughts and understanding. The narrative critiques the implications of such learned behavior, inviting readers to reflect on the cost of conformity and the struggle for self-awareness in a world that often values silence over authenticity.
