An immersive non-linear study of a woman from troubled girlhood to middle-aged breakdown. Hard work to get into, initially - I found the prose off-putting until it just clicked for me. I love JCO's ability to capture the interiority, gnawing insecurities and painful dysfunctions of her characters. A slow burn but worth it.
