This was a deeply moving modern mythology. I was not expecting to be speechless upon finishing it but I really was. The writing was beautiful while still being accessible and well-paced. This novel tackled some of the heaviest topics of American history with an unflinching lens.
Graphic: Body horror, Homophobia, and Racism
Moderate: Addiction, Child abuse, Child death, and Colonisation
