This was a truly uplifting read, one that I did not anticipate would resonate with me so deeply. The way the author intertwined the stories of the three women, slowly revealing their connections, was a testament to their skill. I am hesitant to reveal too much, but suffice it to say that the narrative arc is both surprising and satisfying. The writing was descriptive, the historical details were meticulously rendered, and the storytelling was compelling. Nonlinear storytelling is a particular favorite of mine, and this did not disappoint.
