One of my favorite novels of all time, but difficult to recommend because of it's very twisted subject matters. What can I say, I love it when a woman writer explores weird and difficult topics. Interesting social commentary. Very graphic depictions of abuse that makes me sick and heart-broken, which helps make the writing very effective and powerful. Those who are triggered by these topics please stay away.
