4.0
I loved many things about this book: its settings in Kansas, New Orleans, the north woods, Mars; many of its characters; the tracing of a family lineage over 7 generations; the overlapping themes of war, love, loss, and rebirth. Some aspects of the plot were disappointing, however, and the last third of the book read pretty slow. Would recommend for people who like climate/science fiction, Parable of the Sower, etc!

This was much more about motherhood than I was anticipating and very depressing, though I did like the back and forth and piecing together how everyone was related

Swept away. That pretty much describes my experience with this book.
I normally hate anything that sniffs of sci fi. This I loved.
