Really lovely book. I found I could not read it fast. Instead it was slow, contemplative process where I would read one chapter or section, then take a long break and put it down. Still, I never hesitated to go back and read more. While the sections are all connected, there are natural spots to pause as the book is structured by generations and moves forward in time with each break. I could see this book working well for someone who normally prefers short story collections. Very strong characters in each section that will stick with you for a while.
