I had to reflect on this one for a while after finishing it. It's not an easy read. Tough issues (check any trigger warnings before reading) and it took me a while to get into the rhythm of it. It felt like I was just settling in when it was over. I would read more about Maggie though.

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.
