caprivoyant's review against another edition
5.0
I HAVE FEELINGS!
This is a lovely book. It's a very family-oriented novel similar-ish to Pachinko, but with a little extra magic that still feels like real life. It's a story about family and trust and home and love and be[e]ing connected with Mother Earth.
Before you pick it up, I do want to note that part of this historical fiction novel does take place during the 1928 Spanish flu pandemic, so that might be difficult to read about for you... or it could help your current experience feel even more validated. It felt like the latter to me — there were moments that I definitely needed to pause and take a deep breath for, but I'm so glad I read it. I'll put a few more CWs below too, but all in all a lovely heart-squeezing read.
