I don't really know where to put this book. It's challenging, raw and unlike anything I've read before. The words used to describe those with Down syndrome bothered me, but as the book is set in the 1880s, I guess the author used the time-appropriate phrases. I really enjoyed the plot twist at the end and especially hated Rev Baldur. I think I'll take a few days to process this book and I'm interested to see how others thought of it. Definitely worth a read, maybe I should reread it a little later to better understand the details of it.
