challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

3.25

Easy read of a hard subject in terms of narrative writing. Pretty difficult out in terms of reading about peoples’ awful experiences. Not for the faint, but a great deep dive.

A fascinating weaving of the family’s story with the research happening along the way. Did contain lots of descriptions of traumas and mental breakdowns, but was nicely broken up with mor clinical analysis.
