4.5

A really thought provoking read, hard to swallow but beautifully written. It had me gripped. An interesting format, the narrator uses letters to communicate with her estranged husband and talks about their life together and the horrendous tragedy that occurs. A sensation for all the wrong reason but really worth devouring.
