THEY THOUGHT THEY KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT US. THE KIND OF WOMEN WE WERE.
Iris seeks a different kind of life. Promise comes in the form of Hazel, who lives at Breach House - a women's commune on a remote farm. At Breach House, the women live and eat in abundance, are guided by landscape and ritual, all while under the leadership of their gargantuan matriarch, Blythe.
But is Breach House truly the haven it seems? When an unforgivable transgression comes to light and power struggles intensify, the women find themselves hurtling towards an act of devastating violence that will threaten everything they've fought to create.

"The truth is, you’d be surprised what you’re willing to go along with when everyone around you acts like you deserve it."
A slow and unsettling story about identity, belonging, and losing yourself. I really loved the cult-like atmosphere of the isolated commune and how the protagonist slowly starts to kind of "merge" with the other women. The tension keeps building until everything turns wonderfully messy and ends with a big bang. I actually wish it had gone even darker, but still, I really enjoyed it, especially the heated atmosphere.
