3.5

This book was very good. It was very hard to read. I'm giving it a 3.5 almost solely for the fact that there is no Content Warning in the book. That is unforgivable considering the content of this book and her publisher/editor should be ashamed of themselves for not including one in the year 2023. I'm glad I read it, the story was powerful, but I'm not sure if recommend it to anyone simply because of how intense the subject matter is.

thought provoking but triggering. Check TW.

I keep reading reviews talking about how it’s unrealistic that three different women in the family suffered from abuse or sexual assault. It is estimated that 1 in 3 women have experienced sexual violence and 3 in 10 women have experienced domestic violence. These statistics are believed to be even higher than reported. I’d also make the assumption that these occurrences were even more common in the past. So, can you really call three women in a family over the course of several centuries experiencing these things unrealistic? While these topics are incredibly hard to read about, I really enjoyed this book. I personally felt that it was empowering, but I understand that it can be too much for others.

Major TWs: multiple (g)rapes (one of a minor), gaslighting, domestic violence, abortion, suicidal ideation and plan

What an appropriate time to read a book about women's suppression, abuse and torment by men. This book just added fuel to my female rage, in a good way. And inspired me to not yield. Loved it.
