Selfish love justified

Drowning Ruth
Christina Schwartz
Bought for P49 at Book Sale-SM

This book is a heart-tugging justification of selfish love. It contradicts my personal views on family and relationships, but Christina Schwartz weaves the story deftly that it only seems fitting for the novel to end the way it does.

Reading this made me appreciate more the beauty of nonlinear narration, which Donna Tartt employs more effectively in The Secret History.
