By all accounts, Frances’ story is a tragedy, and not necessarily of her own making. She’s a strong woman prone to making choices everyone warns her against, but their her choices to make. She did the best she could in her situations, even if the best was something truly horrific.
There can be some interesting speculation on whether Frances is a reliable narrator or not, considering the story is from her point of view, but I think a woman
Anyway, as much as it hurt me, I did really enjoy the book. One of the only 5 star reads from 2021.
