This one kinda flew over my head. It’s packed with paralels and symbolism, and the ending can be interpreted many possible ways (or maybe just one way, but I’m too dense to nail it down).
Beautiful prose, intriguing characterisation of very flawed people, the amazing all-woman convent (or coven?) made it a worthwile read regardless, and reread might grant more clarity. Powerful, brilliant book.
