I didn't read this - read the first few chapters in which a child lives in an unhappy and abusive household, and the author keeps saying that later she realized how warped she had been by that time. Stopped, looked for reviews and found almost none; finally found a synopsis that talks about her marrying an older man and coming in for psychological torture thereby...and decided I really didn't need to read this. Skimmed the last bit, just to be sure - and yes, it's just as stupid and futile and depressing as the beginning. It also doesn't really end - I mean, it ends with her attempting suicide in a way that means she never was in danger, but doesn't go on to describe her waking up the next day or what she did as a next step. No point, no conclusion (that I could see, remembering that I don't know at all what happened during most of the book), not worth reading as far as I'm concerned. ( )
