I found this a very slow read, perhaps more so because I listened to the audiobook for most of it (sped up to try and cut to the chase a bit!)
Most of the story is the nurse watching a little girl do nothing much aside from pray and sleep…
The last chapter finally started giving some answers and it was all very dark and unhappy. All in all, o was pretty relieved for it to be over. That said, the idea and mystery element did capture my interest enough not to DNF it.
