Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The story seems to be making the point that women suffer when they’re required to put their anger aside and that this eventually destroys them.
Con: This is the story of a psychopath who killed herself. It is very hard to care about a protagonist who has no emotional feelings for other people whatsoever—not even for her own child.
