this was one of, if not THE MOST brilliant novel i’ve ever read EVER. i was captivated, awestruck, emotional, educated. this is a family saga - there are few writers that are able to write for such a range of characters and so clearly capture the heart and soul of every single one of them DISTINCTLY in under 30 pages each. she made us feel and understand these people, their hopes, their loves, their sacrifices, their pain. AND WHEN IT CAME FULL CIRCLE IN THE END. no notes. simply incredible.
