Really should have looked this one up before reading. It's mostly sad, and I have complicated feelings about even the triumphant bits.
This follows three generations (1619, 1942, present day) of women from one family. I was not expecting abuse to be so involved in all three storylines. And I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this book's exploration of pregnancies for legacy sake. I don't know. I definitely have to think about this one some more.
