This book was beautifully written, wrapping you up in the slice of life happenings of three generations of women as they strive for contentment. There’s 5 chapters, with each one from a different point of view, offering a developing multifaceted story slowly and subjectively revealed. The ending and the story itself is not happy nor sad, but real.
