This book is the story of 3 women whose lives are intertwined with one another. It is a beautiful piece of fiction that demonstrates divine feminine power.
It is a slow read and definitely took me longer than usual, but I am so glad I stuck it out. This is one of those stories that could be read multiple times, and the reader would likely find something new each time.

I like that with the audiobook the three women were narrated by three different narrators; helped them feel like distinct characters. Altha was my favourite. Her voice felt very of the period (1619), and her personality felt very distinct from Violet and Kate. The way that their stories linked up over the centuries was well done, though perhaps a tad too contrived at points (especially how Violet is linked with a certain event in the last chapter). The book is filled with heavy subject matter, but I think that it is treated with care. Fair warning that it does get very graphic at times. I did feel that most of the antagonists were a bit one note/dimensional
I'm not sure if I'm fully happy with how all their plot threads end
Overall I enjoyed this, probably won't read it again or other books similar to it. Kinda feels like if you've read one, you've read them all
