That golem dad book got under my skin a little

I finished Odessa last week and I am still stuck on one part. It is set in 1905 and this father loses his daughter in the violence and makes her into a golem to get her back. Except she comes back wrong in the way kids ask direct questions. She keeps asking why he did it and what he wants from her now. That dynamic carried the whole book for me. The pogrom sections are brutal but not gory for shock. More heavy and quiet. There is a middle stretch in the workshop that dragged for me, lots of clay and ritual detail. Then the last third picked up fast and I read it in one night. The prose is plain which I liked. It definitely is not a fun horror read. It is more grief with mud on its hands. I do not see people talking about it here and that is a shame because the daughter is one of the creepiest and saddest characters I have read this year.
