This is a wonderful book with so many great quotes and life lessons. It is written so well and still translates to today’s world somehow. 4.5 stars because it was a bit over descriptive for me but a lovely read overall!

4.5-5, I really enjoyed this book. It’s very hard for a book to make me emotional and this got me watery eyed for sure. The dynamic between the mother and daughter was something I think a lot of eldest daughters experience! I love how real it is, no happy ending, poverty to it’s core, alcoholism, etc.
