The writing style is super jarring, but about 1/3 through I was acquainted enough with the characters to follow the narrative without having to read back a page. It's a challenging story of generational trauma, motherhood, love, understanding oneself and told through a family's eyes. It is beautiful and sad.

lovely series of reflections from several generations of the same family. not necessarily united by telling a single narrative, but providing glimpses into moments in the lives of several generations of this family. beautiful. the most profound inclusion of 9/11 or Tulsa that I've encountered - not about these events, but about how they shaped the experiences of the characters.
