It is very heavy, there are parts that are downright horrible, but Attwood’s writing is so beautiful that I really enjoyed it.
I also partly listened to the audiobook read by Elisabeth Moss and really enjoyed that too. I’d probably recommend the audiobook over physical copies, it was very well done!
