Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M. Valente

4.5

This was so brilliant and grotesque. The writing and attention to detail was stunning and in such a short book I came to care a lot about the main character’s fate, because in truth, it lives in every woman. It seems people either love or hate this book, and I think it comes down to if you’re the kind of person who revels in strange, off putting, and indeterminate stories. This story thoroughly weirded me out while simultaneously keeping me engaged and dazzling me with its prose.
