On its way to echode by surface mail. Safe travels, little book!
Arrived safely this week, thank you shnedwards! Looks like an intriguing story...
(finished 16th Dec. '22)
...and indeed it was! Intriguing & insidious, a quick but creepy read. Not sure I liked the writing style, as the repetitious prose made what could've been a short story into a "novel", though it did lend comedic respite.

Loved this book! I found it in a little free library in Fremont and hadn’t gotten around to it until now. So glad I finally read it. I’ve never read anything like it. I really enjoyed the writing and the imagery. I loved how the family slowly then very quickly unraveled as you discovered more about their life.
Would have loved to keep this book, but I love this community and want to pass it on. Happy reading!
