Build Your House Around My Body by Violet Kupersmith

challenging sad medium-paced

5.0

I truly feel haunted by this novel. As much as I enjoy the intricate network of characters and interconnected stories and supernatural/mystery elements, I realllly appreciate the understated emotional themes; Kupersmith conveys a lot below the surface of her words--history (esp colonialism), trauma, rage, violence, culture, grief.
Also Winnie's relationship with her body... oof
