Weyward is the beautiful story of three women, one in 1619, one in the 1940s, and one in modern day England, who are related.   It tells the individual stories of each woman and hardships they faced but also weaves their story together in a beautiful way.   This story reminded me a little of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue because of the magical realism and lovely writing but I thought this story had better focus.  And even though it was shorter, I felt that it told each woman's story adequately.   I split my time between the physical copy and the audiobook.   I loved the audiobook version and hearing the gorgeous lilt of the different English accents.   Very well done.    This is probably one of the best books I have read this year.  I highly recommend it!
