this definitely was quite an ambitious story.
no detail left unturned from 1912-1980 🥲
zero options other than it was way too long.

It took me a while to get into this book but after a fair bit I started to get really invested in the Stephanides family. Don’t expect twist and turns every two pages, but expect instead great character development, a very unique coming of age story and the traumas a family keeps dragging with it. I recommend if you’re in the mood for reflection and digging deep.
