Bastard out of Carolina - Dorothy Allison

This was a bleak and puzzling book. I feel like the first and last quarters of the book were obviously related and the middle was unrelated to the rest, although maybe I just wasn't able to fully put it all together. The writing was good and it drew me in, but the content was frustrating and disturbing. I don't honestly know what to think of it but I don't think I would recommend it overall.
