The Poison That Fascinates. Jennifer Clement by Jennifer Clement

3.0

A very strange little book. The style reminded me a bit of Jeanette Winterson, but darker and more sinister. Somehow, the book didn't quite come together for me despite the interesting elements and lyrical prose. The facts about female murderers were interesting and provided a nice backdrop for the story of this strange British family living in Mexico City. But the main character, Emily Neale, never really came alive enough for me to be that interested in her story.
