In the Dream House

Engrossing and wildly innovative account of Machado's relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman. Struggling to make sense of her harrowing experience, each chapter uses a different narrative lens, as she hold event up to the light and examines them from different angles. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Disney villains and more, infusing everything with her characteristic wit, playfulness and openness. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.
