This book is a critique towards society, many things deemed as standard and normalcy in society were questioned here by our chemist main character, her daughter, her neighbor, and her intelligent dog. Topics such as marriage, motherhood, education (how awful Madeleine's teacher was!), family, passion, religion, journalism, entertainment, etc especially when it includes women in it are brought up and challenged here.
Everything is perfectly arranged and stitched into a story, the revelation is what closes the book.

The first chapter, or near beginning had a harsh rape scene. If that triggers you I'd skip the beginning.. The bum gets better and better and while rape is a valid real concern this scene is so realistic and horrifying, that while she fights him off I would've rather skipped it. Keep reading though this book is amazing and full of wonderful people and their stories. Please read it, just skip the beginning if rape is triggering
A very good story, the warning flags are many but it's more in citing wrongs done and society and suicidal issues.. The family and community story overall is quite beautiful..a story of overcoming hardships and succeeding
