Review title: Too much darkness for its own good.
Product review: This novel is complex and there are too few parts that are compelling. The overwhelming tragic themes of rape, incest and murder are far too overdone. It seems that the writer creates tragedy for tragedy's sake, and it gets exhausting. This is a very depressing book, and I would not recommend it to the weak of stomach or those who are prone to becoming emotional. It's cruel, like it's characters. I really didn't like any of them nor did I come to care about them. I had to force myself to finish the novel.
