Luster is a deeply intimate novel that to read feels like getting sucked into a black hole at the core of the main character's soul. The prose is beautiful and plot frustrating and while it seems to spin in place, defying gravity, I kept returning to find out what happened next, or didn't happen.
Graphic: Racial slurs, Sexual content, and Sexual violence
Moderate: Miscarriage, Racism, and Blood
