Masterpiece. Instant classic. Gut punch. What to say about this incredible book? Miller doesn't just draw back the curtain on women's need for constant vigilance and gender violence, she burns it. Her story, searing, honest, and fierce, blazes with pain, light, healing, and tenacity. I have never been spoken to so clearly, touched so deeply, and I've certainly never sobbed so hard with grief. This is a lament and a rocky path out of darkness. Miller's writing is clear, gorgeous, expressive, and incredibly well-crafted. Really a life-changing book.
