-It is a dark psychological drama of 3 generations of mothers and how each one of them affected her daughter's future and view of the world of motherhood, and it was absolutely scary to think about.
-I LOVED how this book discussed grief and loss in a heartbreakingly beautiful way.
-The ending was not to my liking
Spoiler
IMHO, it would have been more impactful and interesting if the mother's suspicions were wrong-There are some topics that really intimidated me like giving birth and the aftermath and repercussions on the mother's body and mental health, marriage(the wife-husband relationship).
-Overall, this book was slow, dark, twisted, mind-boggling, hard-hitting, and hard to put down with beautiful writing. A great experience.
P.S: a theory of the cover and how I interpret it: two faces that make a womb-that interpret motherhood\(mother/daughter)\(mother/mother)-. The overall picture of butterfly-that interprets the (Butterfly-Effect)of how a small action can result in large differences in the future.
so like how the experience of a woman as a daughter and a mother can influence the experience of her daughter.
