Emily Noble's Disgrace by Mary Paulson-Ellis
2.0
Content warning for book: fatphobia, murder of child, gore, violence, domestic abuse, suicide, implications of past self harm
Actual rating - 1.5
This book is very repetitive. Phrases are used over and over within the space of a few pages, Instead of adding to the story it just became annoying.
The title character does not come into the novel until part 2, the first part centres around Essie, who is bland as a character. Emily is better written.
There are multiple time jumps, memories mostly, but seem to be random.
Characters seem to gain information out of nowhere, possibly remembering events from the past but the reader is given no indication of this.
Mostly I just found it slow and boring
