A stunning book, with such voice. There were moments that I forgot entirely that this was fiction, that I was not reading the memoir of a real person as the voice of this novel is so singular and vivid. The opening sequence puts a kind of dread to everything that happens so you second guess how this fairy tale could possibly be bad. Truly one of the best novels I've read in years.
