The Patron Saint of Pregnant Girls by Ursula Hegi
3.0
I received this from Netgalley.com for a review.
Mid 1800s, Germany. Four different women are loosely connected by the setting and the terrible accident that happens right at the beginning of the book: the tragic drowning of three children when a freak wave rips them out of their mother’s arms.
I would recommend this to those who enjoy character driven stories but it felt more jumbled together than Hegi's other books. It seemed to take extra long for the storylines/characters to meld and understand how everything and everybody related to each other. I found myself reading sections twice (or more) to refresh myself on who was who and what was what.
2.75☆
