5.0

This book was written so beautifully and really delved into trauma and its after effects, particularly female trauma. But it is also about resilience and family even in the midst of despair.

A very dark read, but one filled with beauty and even humor.

Painful to read. There's way to write about trauma and I am convinced this is not it.
Stayed with me for a long time and not in a pleasant way. Had a hard time washing some of the images out of my head.

This book is beautifully written, filled with reflections on nature, childhood and storytelling. The character of Landon is a source of comfort for the Betty and the rest of the family, but he also felt like a safe and reliable person to read about in contrast to a lot of the other characters, especially Betty’s mother Alka.

Overall I found Betty brilliant and eye opening, but there are so many triggering themes and several times it was too much to read - incest, suicide and animal abuse to name a few.
