A dull narrative of the female experience that picks up only in the last 50 pages. Agnes’s descriptions and dialogues are witty and empathetic, which in the absence of a plot is the novel’s most redeeming quality. This was a chore of a book that I somehow managed to complete.
Graphic: Rape
Moderate: Animal cruelty
