An important read, but very disturbing... The meandering narrative challenged me, especially with embedded literary and cultural metaphors. At times agonizing, but also deeply revealing of real mental torment...
I felt constant disapproval and horror. The privilege to close the book is a stark reminder of what some people endure daily.
The prose is gorgeous, the characters vivid and tragic. There's a dreamy, disorienting blend of love and neglect. Geary’s writing flows like music—I couldn’t look away.
