This isn’t really my style of book, which I think explains the lack of stars compared to the average! I’m not personally a fan of having so many different stories running alongside each other and that’s where it lost stars for me, but saying that - the characters were varied and interesting, their stories were well told and I did like how they all came together in the end. It’s certainly worth a read and I don’t regret the time I spent with it.

Very interesting intersecting point of view -based chapters. Reads almost more like a collection of short stories. Absolutely loved it. It did take me a little while to get into it, but stick with it, you’ll be glad.

Dieses Buch handelt von 12 verschiedenen Frauen (und non-binären Personen) und ihren Geschichten. Jedes Kapitel beschreibt einen Zeitabschnitt im Leben einer dieser Frauen.
Wenn man sich an den Schreibstil mit möglichst wenig Satzzeichen gewöhnt hat, liest es sich doch sehr flüssig.
Fast alle Geschichten haben mich gefesselt, da jede ihre ganz eigene Dramatik mit sich bringt.
Es werden viele Themen behandelt wie Feminismus, Rassismus, Herkunft, Kultur, Familie, Freundschaft und vieles mehr.
Leider blieben mir (wahrscheinlich aufgrund der Anzahl) nur wenige einzelne Geschichten im Kopf. Das ist eigentlich ziemlich schade. Ich hätte es schöner gefunden, wenn die Geschichten viel früher und mehr ineinander gegriffen hätten.

Such a beautifully interwoven set of stories. Don't let your audiobook loan from the library expire the day you finish this gem, as you'll want to go back to the start and read it all over again straight away.

I want to read it again. It's hard to articulate the impression this book has left with me. All stories are so unique yet intertwined, the characters are so alive yet ordinary yet extraordinary. I highly recommend it!
