This was a deeply emotional read about multi-generational trauma. This book is very much a character driven novel. This book covers some really heavy topics, trauma, grief, and complicated family dynamics, among others. This book had me reaching for the tissues at times because it was such a tearjerker yet so beautiful. I think that this book also had a message of hope, and healing, and finding your true self despite conditions. It was very moving. The pacing in this book is fairly slow and meandering, but it feels like a nice casual walk in the park. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just one that took me a couple of days to get through which is a slower pace than I usually read at. Because the pacing was slower than my normal, I did struggle to get into this book. It ended up being worth the struggle though and I was glad I stuck with it. The multiple storylines told from the different women of the family, were amazing and a great way to experience the story.

If you are looking for a truly moving story, then you need to check this one out.
