Review: The Fall of Innocence

The Fall of Innocence
by Jenny Torres Sanchez

Publisher: Philomel Books
Publication Date: June 12, 2018

When 16-year-old Emilia was a child, she suffered a traumatic attack. In the years since, she's done her best to relegate her memory of those terrifying hours to a forbidden corner of her mind. Recently, she's found it harder and harder to ignore her pain. And when new information about the attack comes to light, she's forced to reconsider everything she thought she knew. 

THE FALL OF INNOCENCE is a heavy, unflinching journey into the depths of a girl's emotional turmoil. The author's tone is reflective and almost distanced. It's as if she wanted to give the reader time to contemplate. Ultimately, her beautiful, haunting prose does the brutal subject matter justice.
