This book was so bloody good. It’s uncomfortable to read, yet fascinating, as it feels like a study of the relationship between these two women as opposed to purely focusing on Sheba’s behaviour. It’s so interesting to look at two women from completely different backgrounds, who are still both messed up and riddled with issues. The film is really great too, but I think the book is possibly more stark in a positive way, as it cannot be accused of glorification.
