Description

Punished is a powerful and poignant novel that explores the long-lasting impact of trauma and violence on individuals and communities.

Set in a Swedish boarding school, the story follows the experiences of five children who are subjected to physical and psychological abuse by the school's Housemother, Rita Olsson. The children's struggles to cope with their homesickness and the violence they endure are deeply moving, and the author's portrayal of their resilience and survival is both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Thirty years later, the five children have chosen different paths to survive, but the trauma of their childhood continues to shape their lives. This novel is a powerful exploration of the effects of trauma and the importance of speaking out against injustice.
