This was just gorgeous and lovely. Madden writes about women with a tenderness and affection that makes me love women even more, in all of their flaw and rage. The atmosphere alternates between almost ethereal and then these just blood-chilling moments of that being shattered, a return to harsher reality. Her writing about her father is of course amazing, but I keep returning to the way she write about women and how much I love it; just a care and affection that we see so rarely in writing, and it's so so good. Definitely recommend it for that reason.
