MINOR SPOILERS BELOW:
This book truly is a incredibly poignant exploration of childhood and generational trauma and how impactful it can be for the generations affected. The complexity of characters such as the mother and Fraya- two individuals destroyed by actions against them. Truly despise Leland and grandpappy lark. Justice for trustin and flossie- whose unfulfilled dreams just linger on. And landon carpenter, the bond with Betty is truly a remarkable exploration of father- daughter bonds and such a beautiful way of doing it. This book was remarkable.
