This story is so smart. Incredible.
I cried a few times throughout and would recommend reading trigger warnings however. It's pretty intense in parts.

I loved getting to know all the different characters and learn about them. I really took my time to read this book as it wasn’t an “easy read”, however I really do feel like it’s an important one! Some stories were heavier than others and therefore took me longer to read than others.

the diverse cast of characters !! the way that the characters are interwoven within a bigger narrative and within eachother's lives is done SO well and is so incredible to see !! such a great moment when you recognise a character from an earlier perspective. the way the characters' lives span multiple generations is so special to see.
