Astonishing Splashes of Colour by Clare Morrall

Why do I feel such a connection to Kitty? My life is quite different from hers, yet at some level, there are underlying similarities, and reading this has made me eerily uncomfortable. I fear it may stay with me for some time.
What a hauntingly beautiful tale, and so incredibly sad. Family secrets, mental illness, motherhood, and loss are intertwined themes throughout. I anticipated some of the plot twists; others caught me off-guard. Kitty isn't a particularly warm character, but she has my empathy, and I thoroughly appreciate her challenges. I highly recommend this if you are comfortable with a sad, emotional tale and no neatly tied ending.
