dark slow-paced

3.5

This book is not only about the brutal account of the murder of Maggie Nelson’s Aunt. But it is also about life post tragedy, fractures of such events on a family, and a memoir like description of Maggie Nelson’s life. This book is advertised as an autobiography of a murder trial, but it delves much deeper into events Nelson experienced through her life and the subsequent aftermath that culminates in the experience and verdict of this trial. 

Content Warning for everything: Sexual/Physical Violence, Rape, Drug Abuse, Suicide, Loss, Grief. An extremely heavy read. Do not recommend if you’re not in healthy mental space.
