I think so many of the "trauma porn" authors need to take time to read this novel over and over again to see what trauma looks like and how it can affect the body, the mind, the family, everything. 

Jones uses everyday speech and methodically constructed dialogue to depict Ursa's struggles and trauma as not just something experienced and half-remembered, but rather something embodied and ongoing. She does so in a way that allows us to listen and bear witness to Ursa without being voyeurs to scenes of intense violence. It's really quite masterful and I'm incredibly impressed Jones wrote this when she was just 26.
