Dark and visceral

The author does post a warning that this story is dark and disturbing and she does not lie! The picture she paints of the island with its people who don't welcome strangers (who are too weak to survive) and live a very hard life so that the reader can clearly picture it. Aoileann has lived there her entire life, hated and feared by everyone for what happened to her mother that to them, twisted Aoileann into something wrong. So it is understandable why she is the way she is. It is definitely not a healthy environment, in the house with her grandmother and the bed thing. While I will say it was not a comfortable read, I did find it fascinating in a disturbing way and I had to finish it to find out why Aoileann is stuck and how her mother ended up the way she was and how and if Aoileann will be able to finally escape the island. Very raw and visceral and dark but well written. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review.
