I LOVED this book. One of my favorites. It contains so much of my life that’s left out of many stories - menstruation, complicated feelings about motherhood, fear of men and love of men, subjugation of one’s own desires for the sake of family and the darkness that engenders… I want to read and reread it. It does feel like YA, in that it feels kind of simple and linear, but I found that restful.
