When they first meet, things are great as they fall in love with each other. The author’s relationship is based out of a small home where she and her girlfriend live for the majority of their relationship. This book takes place in Bloomington, Indiana. She writes about how emotional abuse affects someone later on in life and why it’s so hard to get away from an abuser even when you want to leave them. It’s told in vignettes from before, during, and after the relationship. The book is also about how people make assumptions about queer relationships and why those assumptions are wrong. In her memoir, In the Dream House (2019), Carmen Maria Machado uses stylistic devices to tell a story about an abusive relationship that she experienced while studying for her MFA at the University of Iowa. 1-Page Summary of In the Dream House Overall Summary ![]()
