4.5

This book is painfully heartbreaking and raw with its emotion and depiction of brutality and suffering. Being looked down upon and treated as an ornament rather than a human. The painful expression of trauma and grief and abuse and some self loath. despite all these she has beautifully woven an intricately passionate and tender story of love, loss, pain and memory with poetic prose and descriptive atmosphere, setting a wholly gothic masterpiece novel. a book i would reccomened to read once in your life for sure.
