A really unique and engaging book that delves into the nuances of generational trauma through a family struggling to cope with the loss of their mother...who just happens to be created from a bog. While I think structurally some pacing changes would have helped and the ending could've been tighter the Bog Wife was so enthralling to me. I kept returning to the Haddesleys world and wanting to get off work faster so I could read it. Will definitely be picking up Chronisters other work.
