This was a bit of a slow burn for me, but I think that is only because I listened to the audiobook instead of having the physical copy. I struggled in the beginning to remember who fit where in the very important family tree that shapes the narrative. That being said, once I caught on - I was hooked. This is such a well told story about love, family, inheritance, culture, and generational traumas and healing.
