I was so captivated by this book but find myself at a loss for what to say about it! I loved Moss's writing, combining beautiful descriptions of nature with sharp perception of human behavior and beliefs. There is a lot packed into this short novel: the dangers of idolizing the past, how gender roles play out in everyday life and throughout history, and how both can ultimately lead to violence. Dark, disturbing, and atmospheric. I loved it.
