First read in early college and read regularly for a few years.
Upon re-reading in 2022, I think part of what enchanted me about this book originally was the joy shining through a sad story. I was young and had seen the movie (though I don't remember which I did first, watch the movie or read the book) and the melancholiness appealed to me. The winding together of women's stories is well done and it doesn't get particularly confusing, because they're such different women.
