A mix
Loveable characters:
Yes
Felt so heavy after reading this book. It predominantly explores themes of misogyny & female infanticide. One can easily feel for the protagonist as she endures the pain of giving birth to only female children in a family & society that sees them as a curse.
Simply a powerful novel that lingers on after the final page.
