This book was a wild ride. I have discovered in recent years that I love multi-generational books, especially those that follow strong, "odd duck" women. Boy, did this book deliver!
Historical fiction? CHECK!
Family/small town with dark secrets? CHECK!
Putting crappy men in their place? CHECK!
Loosely defined magic with unclear rules? CHECK!!!
This book really checks all the boxes for what I'm looking for in a "woman discovers who she really is" novel. I will ABSOLUTELY recommend this.
