Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent
5.0
I stayed up well past my bedtime two nights in a row to finish this book.
Wow. Creative. Evocative. Thought provoking. Intense. So well done.
Sally Diamond lives an isolated life - preferring her small village thinks she is deaf. Sally doesn't talk or interact. Until her early 40s with the death of her father, Sally begins her life.
Sally's narration is juxtaposed to Peter, the other child of her parents. He did escape his father's abuse until his late teens.
Nature vs Nurture. Surviving and healing. Therapy. So many topics to discuss.
One of the best of the year.
