I finally read this after years of staring at it from across the bookstore. I really dug it, the illustrations are crazy psychedelic and unique and the story is sad and relatable even though it takes place in an alternative history. Very well done.

A cancer survivor takes a job in a remote Australian village as a schoolteacher after her predecessor mysteriously disappears. The narrator is probably a sociopath and everyone else in the story is totally unpleasant, which made the whole thing sort of funny. There were parts so cringeworthy you couldn‘t help but nervously laugh to yourself, or mumble “Jesus fucking Christ...” under your breath. I really enjoyed it, so 4 out of 5 stars from me.
