A beautiful, haunting, gut-wrenching ghost story, expertly woven by Morrison. You’ll feel anger and grief, and frighteningly-deep love. I had no idea what to expect from it, but it’s one of the best books I’ve read all year. I’m grateful to Morrison for passing this story on.
Graphic: Child death, Toxic relationship, Grief, and Murder
