4.0

3.5 rounded up. Good god this was depressing, but the writing is explosively lovely and tender and bruising and exquisitely built. As you’re reading you sort of feel like you’re in the eye of a hurricane - you can see the devastation around you, and you know it’s closing in, but you don’t feel it until you’re suddenly thrown into the full power of the story’s ending and you realise that all your muscles have been clenched the whole time. A hard book to forget.
