Oof the generational trauma really hit for this one. I appreciated the ending but there were some trigger warning moments for sure.

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 idea for this book was really good. I was drawn in by the magic and strong female voices. However, the execution lacked. I found it took a long time to get into the modern story (Kate) and sadly I found her to be not as strong or able to help herself as the other two stories (Altha and Violet). I was really disappointed by a lot of Kate's actions and found she didn't serve much purpose besides unveiling Violet's story. For me, Violet was the main character and could have done with a novel of her own without her great niece. Not to mention, there are many many triggers in this book that made it hard to swallow.
