“A women’s lot is to suffer.”
Such a heartbreaking story about ordinary people and specifically women that have to face many challenges, such as war, poverty, discrimination and loss. Following the generation of this family made me think of my own history, having grandparents that had to suffer colonialism and war time as well. This book will make you sad and angry, so be prepared.
