ae80 's review for:
The Marsh King's Daughter
by Karen Dionne
Not gonna lie. I skimmed 1/4 of this book so I could read it for my book club. Like other readers who marked it 3 or below, I didn’t like the main character. Maybe she’s a realistic representation of the result of a traumatic upbringing but I don’t really care. Her lack of empathy for her mother, glorifying her upbringing, and talking so wonderfully and lovingly about her father made me want to vomit. I would have stopped had I not wanted to be able to talk about this in a month at book club night. Depressing. Gruesome at times. Just not the kind of book I consider entertainment. On the plus side, the writing was good.
