It is dark, and not for the faint-hearted, but avoids gruesomeness and gore.
Even without the sapphic elements this is a gloriously queer book, navigating poverty, exploitation, otherness, self-realization, survival, revenge, precarity and survival.
To my delight and amazement it manages to conclude on a generally positive note, without feeling trite or forced.
