About this listen
Nominated for The Rathbones Folio Prize.
In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado's engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing experience with a charismatic but volatile woman, this is a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Each chapter views the relationship through a different lens, as Machado holds events up to the light and examines them from distinct angles. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction, infusing all with her characteristic wit, playfulness and openness to enquiry. The result is a powerful book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

It was beautifully narrated but the subject matter and what transpires is so gut wrenching that I cried multiple times.
100% recommend.
Heartbreaking

-> probably the most half baked memoir I have ever left
-> annoyed by the poetic style of the book
