‘Powerful, restless, irresistible’ Laura Jean McKay, author of The Animals in That Country

Thank you NetGalley and Scribe UK for the chance to read and review this book.

 

While Thunderhead is an excellent depiction on domestic violence and the forms it takes, the 109 pages should not be read lightly. The stream of consciousness style is well done but thats not an easy thing to read and requires a lot of focus; to be honest, had the book been longer I may not have finished it. That being said, it may an excellent jump back into this style or the type of focus needed for it if you're out of practice.
