3.0
informative sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This book came highly recommended, and it was interesting to read about a time and place in history different from my norm, but I did have a hard time getting through this one. I liked the bones of the multigenerational story, but something about the characters didn’t quite click for me.
