wow!!! i just finished this in one sitting and it’s instantly one of the best stories i’ve EVER read! it is so well written, the pacing is perfect, and you feel as though you are there. it became quite creepy and also sad, there is definitely a lot of meanings behind this book to think about as the author is a well-known feminist writer. this novella really evoked a lot of emotions for me, so it’s a definite 5 stars!!!

5/5

This is one of those reads that entirely get ahold of your attention, your psyche even, and force you into a deep esoteric burrow, fumbling on your way to some sort of escape or release. It is not an easy read. Not in the sense of language or the way it was written. The language and the control of the language are both fine. It is, however, a very hard read because of the topics and the allegories. Without wanting to give away much, the fact alone that it was written by a woman before 1900 and it deals with matters that may still be societal and medical taboo (at least in some places), is nothing short of exceptional; ground breaking, thought provoking, horizon expanding.

A beautifully writen tragic story about mental health and sexism. Learning that it was written about the author's own experience made it more powerful. 

I think I was expecting something more intense/ dramatic to happen at the end.
