I have no regrets, I love a multi-generational family saga and this one perhaps defined that genre in the modern era… but wow this was a tough read for many reasons, despite the lyrical, flowing prose. I’m glad I read this for a book club where I was able to discuss it with others, because I wouldn’t have gotten as much out of it on my own.
