Magical realism meets the prison system makes for a beautiful, haunting, and deeply sad read. Though somehow there’s hope too, maybe?

While it’s not graphic in the traditional sense, take care and make sure to check the content warnings to get a sense of things.

Beautiful prose for such a haunting story. This is not a book to be read lightly. However, if you can make it through, it’s an incredible read. I have no words.

This novel is unlike any other that I’ve read before. The plot/storyline is well summarized in the synopsis, but google for content warnings as needed. 
This novel is deeply disturbing, but so beautifully written! The prose in which the author writes had me completely *enchanted*. 
This novel offers a unique view into the lives of death row inmates, and the prison system itself. I cannot speak to the accuracy of this novel, but it make for a very interesting read nonetheless. 
This is a fairly short and quick read, but definitely worth checking out! It had me captivated until the very end.
