This was such a quick read, and I can't even imagine how beautiful the writing must have been in the original if the translation was able to take me through what felt like an emotional roller coaster at times.  There are four parts in this book alternating between mother and daughter.  The down side to the book is that the ending felt like a cliffhanger and I wanted to throw the book across the room.  I'm sure from a literary or artistic view, it's beautifully done.  From a personal view, I'm so mad lol.
