This book is a solid four. I do recommend it, but it isn’t one of my favorites. The book focuses on women written by a man. It is a little hard to connect to that. 
It is definitely heartbreaking and touching. You can feel it all. Great book.

Tragically sad but I could not put down the book. The author is such a wonderful storyteller and makes the characters come alive.
