Screaming at the Window by RJ Dent is a gripping and heartbreaking true crime story about Blanche Monnier, who was imprisoned by her family for 25 years in 19th-century France. Dent’s vivid, empathetic prose and historical detail expose classism and injustice, though the pacing can lag. A powerful read for true crime fans. 4.5/5 stars.
