Excellent and fascinating. I read the nonfiction book The Girls Who Went Away by Ann Fessler when I was in college and found it fascinating and heart wrenching. This fictional telling of these stories was poignant and important. Thoroughly enjoyed, except when I wanted to throw the thing across the room. 

Would have liked the 3 narratives to be a little more intertwined and end with a bit more closure, but the choice for it to be how it was was probably a big part of the point.
