HO. LY. SHITAKE.

While I definitely did make a number of correct guesses in the first half of the book for the ending, there was still one puzzle I didn’t figure out, and I quite enjoyed the entertainment that was acted upon in solving that last mess. This was a thrilling ride of torment and love (not together).

Note: know your personal triggers and what you can handle. Sexual abuse and violent crimes against women is a theme that pops up several times and is graphically described.

It can border on men writing women territory in parts but overall it’s an exciting and tense thriller where female characters have (reasonably) developed personalities

J'ai beaucoup apprécié le livre parce qu'il se déroule au sein d'une grande famille, donc il y a beaucoup de personnages mais on s'y perd pas. Pour un livre écrit début 2000 et par un homme, je le trouve assez engagé. Ça se lit très bien, les éléments sont apportés tranquillement au fur et à mesure mêm  si le début met un peu de temps à se mettre en place. La page de fin est absolument mais absolument nulle.
