It's like over a month later and I've forgotten to give this a review. Very typical of me.
It's hard to give this the review it deserves when so many have really done it better than I ever could. On the surface, it's a book about an odd house with cursed women...once the numerous layers have been peeled back and exposed, you see it explores some really fucking serious, important themes that have been embedded for generations.
This one lends itself to be read more than once--no longer is it about an odd house with cursed women, but a prison built on the exploitation and suffering of the women who inhabit it.
That's just one aspect; I could see myself reading this a couple more times. I have to say, I didn't feel all that strongly about the book when I first finished it but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it.
