Raw, powerful, breathtaking.
I found myself drawn into the vivid life of a young boy in this highly dysfunctional family. As a grown man his melancholy is inescapable. I kept wondering why his pain was so incredibly deep and unresolved. Many of us have come from families such as this and worse. Most of us resolve the issues one way or another. But there's so much more to the life of a little boy. He was forced to exist as a "normal" boy and a boy with a terrible secret.
Three quarters of the way through, the reader is hit with the raw truth in a straightforward and unapologetic way. It's painful and somewhat evil. But the author bears his soul honestly and abundantly. I've never read anything quite like this.
