Read as listed on the Women's Prize 2024.

An absolutely amazing story. Read over 2 days & let my mind follow the complex chapters of her life. Learned about women's experiences during the 2 wars & brings to life the values of the Women's Prize.

I think this would be my winner & will be on my Top 10 books for 2024.

4.5

Listened to this on audio, the narration was phenomenal! Want to reread it in print because there was a few places where the POV shifts and it got a little confusing despite Cindy Kay doing really good voices for each character. Even so, I really enjoyed this story! It was woven together so beautifully by Lee, I look forward to my reread.
This book covers many, many dark topics, definitely recommend checking out content warnings.
