Amazingly crafted. A tale of habitual elder abuse, at its core. What makes it so insidious is that you can see how easy and how prevalent the acts in the book can be. Unnerving and unsettling.
Hooked from page one, and I was not expecting that small twist at the ending! Could have been more fleshed out in places, but altogether a great read.
