The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne

2.0

I don't generally enjoy unreliable narrators, so perhaps this wasn't the book for me in the first place. I found Helena's narrative frustratingly naive and simplistic, which I suspect was intentional, but by the time there was any payoff, I'd sort of stopped listening. There's a part of me that wonders if this was intentional too - but in the end, she's a fictional character who exists in a world of her own making, even apart from the worlds of her father, mother, grandparents, and spouse, and it's not a world I'm invested in.
