Joy.
Horrible situations of a growing little girl-Allegra from the totally dysfunctional family of parents and grandparents are the substance of this novel ! The couple of described circumstances could've been close to true, and would have been more than enough for us (readers) to digest and to be frightened for the heroine ! But the author went on a "loose spree" of imagination, much much more than that to make us despise the content of her latest opus, to the fullest meaning of the word ! I do not suggest the "Joy" to anybody, for it's a "Misery" rather than joyful reading in horribly-painful and impossible scenario accompanied by a slew of grammatical and sentence-building errors and narrow use of linguistic source of English language.
