alinseme's review

This book is compulsively readable and I want to finish it, but I just can't. As a mom who has an older child and a baby - and pretty bad PPD with the first - it's just too upsetting. I can't sleep when I read this.

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader.  This is a story of family history and motherhood, a nature nurture based book. It's a gripping thriller about Blythe Connor a d her daughter Violet. Her mother Cecelia and Alfa and the question of whether life repeats itself. Unlikeable character, that makes the read awkward. A great read.
