4.0

A well done story made of separated chapters (lives). First five used to be separate short stories, but they still worked for me as a part of the novel. 
The second half (7th life especially) dragged slightly, but was still engaging enough.
It has several
POVs, and might be an issue for some people. I myself prefer books with 1-2 POVs, no more.
Still, liked it a lot.

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.
