[tps_title]14. Girl A by Abigail Dean[/tps_title]
The novel tells the story of Girl A or Alexandra Gracie who manages to escape from her parents’ House of Horrors to call the police and save her siblings. Years later, Lexie is assigned the role of executor of her mother’s estate, grappling with the decision of what to do with the site of her trauma and childhood abuse.
The novel is fractured between the present and past, with flashbacks of the gradual descent into abuse and Lexie’s current state – unpacking the trauma she underwent. It is an absorbing and compelling read, demonstrating the extent of the horror that Lexie and her siblings underwent – perhaps the bleakest part of the novel is where she unpacks the role of her own brother in the abuse that she faced.
