All the stars! Three POVs of women in very different timelines and social status all with the same problem... the suppression of men. There cannot be a woman who does not relate on a deeply emotional level to this book.

4.0

This book follows three different generations of women through separate timelines. Each are, unfortunately, relatable in their own way.

At times the story reads like three separate thrillers as you want to know the outcome for each of the women.

Whilst not necessarily feminist literature this book does highlight the power women hold and how this is only intensified when women are united. A beautifully written book that can easily be enjoyed, despite its heavy content.
