i finished this book in one day, it was a story i couldn’t put down. i learned about a new facet of canadian history and women’s history that i want to look deeper into. overall the actual fictionalized plot was well structured, despite some confusion towards the very end. the writing was aggressively okay, i wanted and expected more from a book tackling such serious topics. at times it also felt too modern for the time period setting. speaking of time, my biggest issue with this book is how the author handled alternating 3 different timelines of three women whos lives intersect with each others at various times. she used years within the text to appropriately date social factors, but i got confused a lot and kept having to flip back and locate myself. 

worth the read once, will not re read
