Query: Haunting and Hopeless

While I found the imagery beautiful, I found the story to be hopeless, as one mortifying thing after another happens to Astrid. Just when you think there may be some light at the end of the tunnel in this story, the writer informs you that this is a train tunnel and you're about to be smashed flat! I finished this book like a dose of medicine...because I felt I should. However, I would not recommend it to anyone because it is not an enjoyable read. I felt despair and tension when reading it. My primary goal after the dog incident was just to be finished. Fitch went too far in ruining this girls life! With her eloquence, she could have written a beautiful novel but instead settled for something that Ingrid Magnussen herself would have written!
