Even with all these caveats, I enjoyed the book very much, and I would highly recommend it. The author does an excellent job of showing how structural sexism harms all of society, not just women. The tragedies in the book feel very complex and human.

I enjoyed her efforts to lift herself and other women up, and her creation of a found family. Elizabeth's daughter Mad, their dog Six-thirty, and others bring a richness to the story that explores secrets, trauma, and faith in humanity.
