What Lies Between Us by Nayomi Munaweera

4.0

I recently described the kind of fiction I read as "sad books by and about sad women" and this book is soooo much that. Written as a first person confessional from prison and taking place in Sri Lanka and California, really gorgeous prose that is essentially about the violence and awfulness of being a daughter and then a wife and mother. Really heavy and upsetting. I'm totally going to read the authors previous book.
