A story of inheritance, cycles of violence, folk tales and animal magic. 
Earthy, visceral, soaked in piss, sweat and saliva

I like weird books and this fits in that category for sure. The prose was absolutely beautiful and I really loved the story. However, it was also fairly slow and I could only read small chunks of the book before I had to put it back down for awhile. Also, as others have mentioned, there are manyyy bodily function references.

This was a really strange and beautiful book. I didn’t love it, but I can appreciate it for what it was.
