Bitter Is the Heart by Mina Hardy
4.0
dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A well-paced tale that follows a mother-daughter relationship; what is expected of them, their reality, and the generational trauma that can accompany them. I found the main character Tamar interesting and loved the slow decline into horror.
