Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh
5.0
Love a good 'yeast extract ' book and this one has certainly polarised reviewers; so I'm giving it 5 stars; in your face naysayers!
Reminded me of Plath; Plath when she doesn't wash; picks her nose; her scabs.
Not only did this evoke the period it evoked the literature of the period, very clever. Also squalid and grotty and nasty. Really nasty.
Not really a ''Crime ' novel , and probably pissed off a few fans waiting for a twist or a mystery or some sort of suspense - there isn't really any. Eileen is a coming of age story, a character study, albeit an evil skanky one.
When you finally get to the. ..well I was shocked, I am easily shocked and I was shocked.
A Christmas story too.
Well read by Alyssa Bresnahan.
