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.
