Blood Water Paint by Joy McCullough
4.0
This was a very quick read about a tough and timely subject.
-Written in verse
-Heartbreaking
-This was a real time in history and while I do think things have improved greatly, we should NEVER forget that women are more than possessions
-Artemisia was a real person. Which is absolutely heartbreaking
-The prose is gorgeous
-Although a little hard to follow at time?
-Easy to get through in terms of the writing...hard to look away
-Stories of Susanna and Judith woven in beautifully
-I can't really recommend this because it's SO TOUGH wow but also. So relevant and saddening.
3.75 stars-ish? And definitely content warning as regards some fairly graphic treatment of women.
