Be prepared to chill with this incredibly unlikeable woman for a long while. I had to be in the right mood for this book, but it really pays off in the end. It is an intense character study of Eileen and her relationship with her alcoholic father and her job at a juvenile detention facility in the 60's. There are some weirdly funny moments, a lot of profoundly sad moments, and it's a lot to work through. I still very much recommend it if you're in the right headspace for this.
