Hmmmm…I’m going to sit with this experience a bit longer. Some of the main points of this book were delivered quite heavy handed, especially towards the end. Yifei’s monologue before the car crash comes to mind as well as Cora’s suddenly, well-versed thoughts when for most of the book she was quite disconnected and numb?
However I do think Baker took this subject matter and crafted a fairly compelling horror novel. And her author’s note at the end really tied it together well for me.
