The dogs indeed die. The last third of the story switches pace, tense & perspectives. It ruined an initially compellingly strange book.
Moderate: Alcoholism and Sexual assault
Minor: Animal death, Domestic abuse, Mental illness, Physical abuse, Rape, Kidnapping, Murder, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Injury/Injury detail

On a second read boosting my rating by two stars. I think I finally found myself in a place where I can appreciate it, its narrative beauty and its femaleness and feminism. Also I had forgotten the romance and by golly, it was quite good.
Graphic: Physical abuse, Rape, and Sexual assault
Moderate: Confinement
Minor: Murder
