A gripping, starkly imaginative exploration of contemporary misogyny and what it means to hunt and be hunted - and the story of two friends, their sisterly love and courage. It's like digesting a living creature, one with claws still intact . . . if Wood is concerned with investigating and condemning masculine violence, both in its overt manifestations and those encoded in the structure of contemporary culture, she is too much of an artist to reduce her critique to a simple binary . . . the final effect is stunning.
