I read this pretty soon after finishing The Lost Bookshop so I was struck by the similarities in writing format. I love stories about women that don't feel oppressive. I love stories about women navigating through the complexities of society and how all our struggles are truly interconnected. Most of all, I love thinking about all of the women who have existed before me and the lives they held and this book did just that for me.
