An incredibly moving work. It takes what is sorely missing from many true crime pieces: an examination on girlhood, on growing up, on being jealous of your sister but loving her still. The almost mixed-media approach served the author well. It took family tragedy and gave us a window into loss that isn't our own, though it feels like it now. 

"What transpired
for five and 
a half hours

between Jane
and her murderer
is a gap so black

it could eat
an entire sun
without leaving 

a trace."
