I guess I agree with other reviews I’ve read that Oates over-writes here a little and her use of metaphors is occasionally a little jolting - there were a couple of ‘blood sausage’ references  I won’t forget in a hurry! But she does tell a good story and I was gripped and will likely remember this one which given the amount I read is always a sign of my enjoyment!
