I found the book to attempt a lot of topics at once and cover much ground. I loved the character of Anna Winterborne and the story of the 1900s and the following political conflict of the time but the connection to the present storyline in the 1990s did not feel thorough or well-entwined. It was very informative and insightful as a person who did not grow up knowing much about this history. I appreciated the bridge between personal and political lives in the story.
