2.0

Described as an “enthralling novel of female resilience and the transformative power of the natural world,” I figured I would really enjoy this book. I truly love a book about strong, resilient women and thought this sounds like a very interesting historical fantasy. Although I enjoyed the writing style, I didn’t really gel with any of the characters and didn’t ever really get into this book. More importantly, I was not prepared for a somewhat graphic rape scene and every woman in this to experience some type of sexual, physical, or psychological abuse. I expected a book about magic- but that only comes into play at the very end of the novel and I didn’t find it to be empowering at all, but rather a last resort to scary and sad situations. The justice in this novel is fleeting- only coming after chapter and chapters of abuse.

A great book showing three different women taking their life back over the course of centuries. Deals with the horrible truth while continuing a fantasy story, that allows you to see the many ways in which men manipulate and control women. I was happy to see the empowerment of the women in this case, because many books seem to lack that. I also rather enjoy insects and nature myself, so that added value to the story for me.

An interesting narrative of three women across generations.  If you like the stories where women triumph over the cruelty of men, then you will love this one.  Check the content warnings.  It had lovely prose and sympathetic main characters.

The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet. —Adrienne Rich

I love women!! TW for domestic abuse and sexual assault. The way the characters' stories are told through different intertwining timelines is my favorite thing and Emilia Hart does it so well.
