Holy crap this was amazing. Very probably my favourite horror of all time. 

I cried NON-STOP through the first 40 pages. I love Muriel. She might be the closest I've ever seen myself portrayed in a book. And she was basically living my nightmare in those first five chapters. 

Then I became entranced. 

Then completely fucking horrified. 

What an incredible book. Tender, traumatic, and terrifying. 

My first Sodergren, but definitely not my last.
