It’s been years since I’ve read this, and I listened to the audio book. I forgot how sad this was, and how she was slowly losing her mind. She suffers from postpartum depression after having a child and is forced to be on bed rest with basically nothing to do and is isolated. I believe everyone should read this book at least once. And if you can listen to the audio book, do so. Hearing it and reading it are two different experiences.
