I loved the writing style, it was always beautiful and engaging, and at times wonderfully reflective and lyrical.
I was enraptured by the big cast of characters, from the older generations to the new one, it was just wonderful (if terribly heartbreaking) to see their stories slowly unfold.
If you like historical fiction and family sagas I absolutely recommend this book, it is truly a gem in the genre!
