I tend to prefer the horror end of magical realism, and really loved this book. The haunting atmosphere was impeccable, and I was similarly invested in the stories of each of the three women, which is rare for me with story structures like this. I couldn't, largely, predict the plot. I had a hard time putting this one down and flew through the last 100 pages. Things were not so neatly tied up where I moved on from the book quickly -- this one will stick with me. 

Check the trigger warnings first!

I enjoyed this book. It isn't the style of my usual reads, but it had a way of holding your attention and beckoning you to turn the page. The story is one that so many women have faced, and in that sense it was familiar. And yet it was a story I was glad to see to the end regardless.
I wish we could have seen a glimpse into the life of the last child in the book. To know if her fate could be better. But it still feels complete.
