Bit uncertain how I feel about the ending, it seemed to drag for a little bit +

incest,,, I knew it was coming it was heavily hinted at but pls why

The writing in this book, however: immaculate, impeccable, lyrical but with just the right edge of uneasiness and without covering up the disgusting and horrible things. I loved the use of metaphors and repeated sentences and all the discussions about race and ideology and poverty- sublime and real and powerful. Really incredibly well done. I definitely recommend this novel.
