a metaphor for... something

The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh
Rating: 3 stars (out of 5)
Genre: fiction
Review: This story is a metaphor for... something.  The inherent violence we all harbor inside us?  The idea that relations between men and women can never be peaceful?  I honestly don't know.  The writing is lovely, lyrical and haunting but too veiled for me.  Are men really a threat to women in the outside world, or is the sickness a metaphor?  Or is it just that Grace, Lia, and Sky's parents are incredibly manipulative and abusive (physicallyand psychologically)?  Although some things become clear(er) by the end of the book, much is left in obscurity.
