How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House by Cherie Jones

Did not finish book. Stopped at 65%.
This is a five star DNF. The narrator is my favorite ever. She understood the assignment and brings to life the characters and setting like no one I’ve listened to. The beauty of the writing gets buried in the darkness of the material. The prose are gorgeous but the storyline is despair piled on unrelenting tragedy of generational trauma and violence. It is almost hyper-realistic horror. I just got to the point where I couldn’t be in that dark place anymore listening to the emotional and physical torture of nearly all the characters without getting dragged to a dark place myself.
