A House Built on Silence
What happens when the relationship that was supposed to save you becomes the one that destroys you? Carmen Maria Machado's memoir shatters the silence around a question the queer community has long avoided: what do we do when the violence comes from within? This isn't just another breakup story. It's a literary excavation of a relationship that morphed from intoxicating romance into psychological warfare, told through fractured narrative lenses that mirror the disorientation of abuse itself. Machado doesn't simply recount what happened-she builds an entire architecture of memory, each room revealing how love can become a haunted house where you lose yourself one small concession at a time.
