What a profound, sad, haunting, hopeful little book. I've seen very mixed reviews on this, with some reviewers seeming to be upset that the book is, in fact, centered on women talking, without any other plot. But to me, and to my personal tastes, there is something truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring in witnessing these women making, perhaps for the first time ever, a decision for themselves. I loved this. I'm so glad I read it.
