A review by melted_books
In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

dark emotional medium-paced

5.0

An exquisitely crafted memoir. Lyrical, evocative, poignant, vulnerable. Listening to the audiobook, narrated by the author herself, is mesmerizing as you absorb the multidimensionality of Machado's experiences being psychologically and emotionally abused. Machado's choice to tell her story using various narrative tropes was boldly creative, and it is the main reason why this is a standout memoir to me. I had not read anything quite like this before.
