The San Francisco chronicle calls it “stark and haunting”
NYT Bestselling Internet Aunt Sara says “omg listen to the San Francisco Chronicle”
God, I have so much I could say, but I think it boils down to:
this book made really horrible stuff really elegant and cut nightmares out of crisp, accessible prose.
The character of Harelip. The maid. Those boys. What happened to each of the parents. That last chapter. Shaking, grateful I read it, changed, inspired as an artist, deeply bothered.
I think I’m going to write a note to my children about how “this book is A LOT to parse as an adult so please don’t get a wild hair and read it yet” and stick it in the cover before putting it up on a shelf. My kids are like me. If a book is around, they might read it, especially if I put it on a high shelf. This one is WAY too readable, like at any age, and they could get thru it. So a “last warning” note for when they find a chair to get to my grownup books. Lmao
(This is a trilogy but I only bought it for the first one, no plans to read the other two for now)
