This is an incredibly bleak book full of hot wet shits.
I've seen reviewers call this an allegory for the plight of modern women, but I don't buy it. This is its own story, the plight of a 17th century woman alone in the wilderness trying to escape abuse, disease, and death, only to seek death to escape her own misery. I, too, wish to escape the misery of this slog.
Some also argue for the beauty of the language, THE SYNTAX. girl please.
