Wow this book is heavy! Set in the South of America in the 1950s, this is a character driven books that really has you empathising. (Trigger warning) it covers themes of abuse, race, prostitution. 

It’s based around the unlikely friendship of two women but delves into their backstories and the hardships they’ve been through.

 The audio book just pulled me in. I was so invested in the story. My heart broke with these characters. I highly recommend it if you like books that make you feel something.
