While beautifully written, this book was difficult to finish and I had to keep taking breaks. The most raw and open exploration of intergenerational violence I’ve ever read, the way that this family both perpetuates and survived sexual, emotional, and physical abuse is heartbreaking. All the CW on this one, a love for the characters kept me listening.
