The Other Daughter by Delilah Des-Anges
Hello!
Do you enjoy horror? Do you enjoy stories of revenge? Do you enjoy Shakespeare re-tellings and adaptations?
Then I recommend to you this book: The Other Daughter by Delilah Des-Anges
Polly Mazlowczy has returned from a fictitious conflict in North Korea a changed woman. Just how changed, her strange and insular family and the people of an isolated Midwestern town are about to discover. The Other Daughter is a revenge tragedy of the old school given a modern twist.
I can tell you that the Shakespeare plot is that of Titus Andronicus, so I knew it would get gory and horrible. Now you know too.
I really enjoyed this book. I like Polly, who has come back home to wreak revenge. I liked Suchin, her smart sarcastic girlfriend. And I liked the very dark humour.
I had to take long breaks, because while I enjoyed the book, I am not a fan of horror, and I had to pause when I had had enough of gore, or when I suspected a particularly gruesome thing would come up. But I kept coming back to it, because I liked the book, and wanted to know what Polly and Suchin would do, and what would happen to them.
