5.0
Wow, this carried a disproportionate punch for the length of the story. A retelling of Galatea without Ovid's metaphors cluttering the brutal reality of the story. Succinct, terse and wholly immersive.
Graphic: Confinement, Misogyny, Gaslighting, and Forced institutionalization
Moderate: Abandonment and Domestic abuse
