A quick read and an absolute page turner. There are just so many levels in which this book can be delved into, but at its core lies the troubled mind of a modern woman losing her identity, being seen as the cause for all that goes wrong in her children’s and husband’s lives.
But there is also a slight twist. As you delve into the mind of a woman, a mother, accused of the worst things, you start to will find yourself taking one side after the other, and willing it all to a good end.
Perhaps it does, perhaps it doesn’t. This Fem-Noir has been one of the best reads I have had this whole year, beautifully written, relatable in so many ways, with depth and mystery rolled into a tight little novella, and I refuse to spoil it for anybody.
