I really enjoyed this book - I'm a big fan of books with multiple perspectives over generations so that was something that really drew me to this book. Loved the magical realism and feel like the author balanced the "witchy" and "real" beautifully. 

Obsessed with the cover for this too - it's so beautiful. And the quote at the end really resonated for me: 

The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.
Adrienne Rich

This book is dark though and the women do all experience trauma so wouldn't recommend reading before looking at the content warnings.

It's good, just really wasn't prepared for the content in this book based on the synopsis. Don't read this before reading the content warnings. Also don't read this if you hate pregnancy. This book isn't full of magic, it's full of female trauma.

This book needed lots of CONTENT WARNINGS at the beginning. It was especially upsetting to me that the author uses , and if I had known that, I wouldn't have read it. It really seems like the author is using it as a way to link the characters, make things hard for them, and create drama. It wasn't handled with care and trauma-recovery in mind.
