Overall i really enjoyed this. It's ambitious but it focuses a lot on grief-it's experience and surviving it. I feel like there were a lot of platitudes and the character dialog didn't seem that believable to me. I love books that offer perspectives from multiple characters so this really worked for me, but i would have lived if they centered Priscilla/Chike, Lilly's enslaved nursemaid, more. Rather, the story is told from the perspective of three women from wealthy southern families.
