Such a dark book, but a beautiful story. I love this book so much. The writing style is so unique and poetic. I read this once a year. A favorite for sure.

Very unique book and writing style, but found it difficult to read at times because of how dark and slow paced it is. One of the most graphic and disturbing books I've read.
