This book was definitely a page turner for me. While it does have some very graphic sexual and violent parts to it, I felt it also spoke to depression and abandonment.
The book also addresses children who grow up in institutions waiting to be adopted and feeling unheard by the child welfare system.

Apparently some very authentic sadomasochism in this book.
reviewed Nothing Natural on
London in the early 1980s. Thirty-something Rachel is a single mother, a part time educator working with "problem" students, a commitment-phobe, a survivor of a traumatic childhood, and a sufferer from recurrent depression. She is also a remarkably self-possessed narrator, intelligent, observant and mordantly funny as she recounts events (including a sadomasochistic sexual relationship) that test the limits of her mental and physical endurance, plunge her to the depths of despair, and force her to take drastic action in order to achieve catharsis and closure of sorts. A brutally honest trip into female psyche.

This book was nothing like I thought it would be. Nice twist to the ending. Kind of makes you think of the dark nature of humans in general.
