Orpheus Builds A Girl by Heather Parry

5.0

Where to begin with this glorious book? It gave me the creeps, it made me angry, I couldn’t stop reading it and I was bereft when it was done. The characters feel so real, so horrifyingly believable. The dual-narrator structure was clever and stunningly executed - if only every terrible act usually told through the lens of the ‘victor’ could have the record righted somewhat. I’m excited to see what else Heather publishes, so I can be left pondering more of life’s horrors in what feels like a productive, somehow beautiful, way.
