• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes

4.0

This book—-I am still trying to process it.   It took me a little bit to adjust to the writing style but once I did I found it to be so lyrical and beautiful.  That said, if you are looking for a fast-paced read, this is not it.   Set in colonial times, this book deals with heavy themes such as colonialism, religion, nature, and the female experience.   I thought this book was beautifully written and very thought-provoking.
