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.

Sof It's incredible how much I actively hated this book. Basically got secondary hot wet shits from reading it.


Lauren Read Rover OMG IM LMAO!!! I'm on page 82 and it's all literally wet shits HAHHAHA


Lisa Hollon So many wet hot shits when there wasn’t all the pissing. What did I just read?

Farren UGH I am so glad you said it! A terrible experience, start to finish.


Tracy This is my favorite review & comments of this POS story. I’m so glad there are others that feel the same as I did after finishing this bleak tale.


Julia Saffer-D'Anna Yeah once she murdered the ducks I was done. The gospel and dead babies and wet shits were not poetic. Just disturbing
