Thank you Harper Collins Canada for the eARC! I ended up buying the book because I loved it so much. Like, it's SO GOOD. Y'all need to read it. I have no words, it's just an amazing piece of writing. This book covers so many topics about the female plight and it's such a profound and emotional read. The writing style and character building is fantastic. Everything is just so great. There's also a couple plot twists near the end that blew my mind. Just go read this 😍

So glad I got to read this novel ahead of its release in February 2022! It is classic O’Neill — filled with unexpected metaphors, magic realism, and unique phrasing you won’t find in any other novel. I enjoyed the historical setting, which is unlike any of her previous works.
