I’m totally unable to put my finger on it just yet but something about this really struck a chord with me.

And something else about Charis in particular. I’ll be thinking about her for a long while.
It is of course, well written.

CW for: abuse/child abuse/sexual abuse/sexul abuse of a child/suicide/abandonment
It is not a lighthearted story obviously, but neither is it without Light and hope and even humor- much like life.

"Best damn academic novel ever. Imagine Lolita without the child abuse."

Very accessible, challenging to our pharisaical biases, and comforting to those on the end of pharisaical abuse.
