First off, I'm so glad I chose to listen to the audiobook. What an experience! The audio is creepy and unsettling, with breathing and singing in the background of the narration, which was done by several different narrators adding to the rich listening experience. The auditory layers reminded me of what A24 soundtracks sound like.
I'm not usually a poetry reader but this type of experimental loose fiction with poetic focus was so interesting. You follow different women and their experience living in a small town enduring abuse by the men around them. Was the "plot" obvious? No. This is an audio book I'll want to come back to and notice new things.
I feel like this book would be more difficult to grasp in physical form, and the audio production is just too cool.
