At first, I was very confused when I was reading this book, but I stuck with it and was able to iron out any confusion. The story goes back and forth between present time and the past but tells the story of the main character’s upbringing as well as her mother’s childhood. Essentially you are reading about 3 generations. 
I do like how the present time is written to tell the story within a 24 hour time period, and doesn’t hold back on anything.
