Someone once said Historical Fiction is so full of women's suffering and I don't enjoy that.
I think these days I agree - while the book itself is okay, I feel like I am so exhausted by these books that are so full of women's suffering.
Are they important stories to tell? Yes.
Do I enjoy the history that can be gleaned from between the lines? Also Yes
Would I prefer to read these books in a non-fictionalised account - perhaps...
Ah this was an interesting book - reminiscent of Pachinko type novels (but in my opinion not quite as good).
i am rambling at this point so...anyways,
3.5 rounded down...
