This was the hardest book I've read so far this year. Not just the prose, although it is written in an ambling stream-of-consciousness style that doesn't use quotation marks. The content of this book explores seismic, the patriarchy, and more. It's also apt post-Brexit, as it discusses those who want to return to a better, "purer" England, and how those ideals mix with modern prejudices and how that affects those guided by and influenced by those people. Also features an unreliable narrator.
Graphic: Animal death, Child abuse, and Domestic abuse
Moderate: Homophobia, Racism, and Sexism
