Wow I loved this book, I can’t remember the last time I ripped through one so quickly. I just could not put it down. The characters were interesting and developed beautifully, the setting was intense and claustrophobic and immersive, the story was gripping and heartbreaking and beautiful. I just loved it and I want to read everything Emma Donoghue has ever written!!
