I read Bataille's Story of the Eye many years ago, but nothing else of his. I can see why you'd make the comparison, but this book isn't really erotic in that way, and what I described comes more in the way of mundane cruelty, curiousity or despair, all told through the eye of a child. Despite how it sounds, its really remarkably understated for its subject matter.

You tend to focus on the kid's grief and need to understand death and what is happening to her family. It's a really skilfully written book.
