The Final Confession of Mabel Stark

The book delves into her struggles with fame and mental health — I wonder what motivated the author to focus on these aspects.

The scenes felt visceral and upsetting, but they also made me think about how animals were treated in that era. Was this meant to challenge the reader’s morals?

The setting and details felt very authentic, but I’m curious whether the narrative took any creative liberties or stayed close to real events.
