And Then She Fell is a beautiful horror novel. Yes, beautiful. Elliott describes new motherhood, parental loss, indigenous identity, microaggressions, toxic marriage, and intergenerational hope. Each of these topics is blended to create an incredibly believable and complicated main character in Alice. I was simultaneously devastated and grateful for this book's ending.
