A review by haitianrich
An Untamed State by Roxane Gay

5.0

I was not expecting the amount detail Gay goes into describing the before, during and after the trama of a kidnapping that goes beyond being held captive. Untamed rarely let's the reader escape the abuse of the main character with a timely cut to another scene. it leaves you with conflicted feelings about what you do when the place you love is a reminder of something horrible. how do you get past such horrible things or do ever get past them. this book explores all of that and won't be an easy read.
