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.

I had high expectations because this was the Goodreads Choice Awards Book of the Year (2023)—perhaps too high.  It was a good book, but I felt the three good storylines were one too many.  With stories set in the 1600s, 1940s, and the present day, the story constantly jumped around.  If I had been able to read it in one sitting, it might have worked.
