mama_pug 's review for:
The Marsh King's Daughter
by Karen Dionne
I was really looking forward to reading "The Marsh Kings Daughter", the blurb sounded interesting and the cover was beautiful, but I so disappointed.
I couldn't find anything relatable or likeable about the main character Helena. The way she spoke so highly of her captor/father/abuser bothered me a lot. I understand that she didn't realise what he was until she had been freed, but 15 years later to still idolise the man didn't sit well with me. And the contempt she had for her mother even years later was incomprehensible to me.
I didn't enjoy this book. It was depressing and disturbing. I couldn't recommend it.
