Deeply moving and sad. A dark tale about the cycle of trauma. Slow beginning but riveting all the same.

This was a brutal and haunting story about trauma and the impact it can have on ourselves and those around us. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat and the characters kept my heart crying the whole time. The twist comes to light eventually and because the characters you follow don't see it coming neither do you.
