i absolutely loved this book. i've always been a fan of stories with flawed and somewhat unlikeable characters. having studied psychology, i'm always searching for the "why?" factor when i hear or read about deviant human behaviour - which particular combination of genes and environmental factors/experiences led to this manifestation? by the end of this novel, all of my questions had been answered, and i felt nothing but compassion for joan.
NOTE: this book is exceptionally heavy. please review the content warnings to check whether it's right for you.
