graco's review against another edition

2.0

Another historical fiction where the writing is just giving nothing. The story was very predictable from the beginning which is not necessary bad if its written a well-crafted, interesting or compelling way, but this was not. It follows three women from one family who all have a unexplained magical affinity with animals and a shared unluckiness for encountering abusive men. I found it boring despite the heavy themes and often graphic imagery of violence, death, abuse and child loss. The men were almost all charicatures of evil and the boilerplate female empowerment message lacked nuance. The way the author handled the characters who chose for/against abortions (there were multiple instances) veered into territory that seemed antithetical to what I thought was the point of the book. I would have prefered more time exploring the nature magic and fewer abuse scenes.
