4.0

The prose of this book was incredibly beautiful. There were definitely elements of horror but they were used primarily to convey the themes of the novel. The descriptions of being haunted by the ghost of what the characters relationship once was felt visceral. I did find it difficult at times to connect with the characters, especially Miri but the ending of the book still impacted me immensely.
