I will say - well written, and some storylines I found fascinating, they were just cut with incessant cruelty to the degree I will not be able to think of this book fondly

4.5 stars. one of the best books I have read this year. Menacing, gothic, mysterious and haunting. Multiple time lines interweave to create the haunting effect. This book explores toxic masculinity and its effects on generations. Beautiful writing. A must read.
