Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia
4.0
Type of read: Commuter Read.
What made me pick it up: I think I saw it in a suggested list? Or another friend added it to their TBR and I liked the description?
Overall rating: An absolutely beautiful telling of generational strength and the grit the women in the story used to overcome challenging times. There is some scene and setting jumping, but it's always prefaced with who and what year, I find that extremely helpful but did have to continually remind myself to pay attention to who was talking and where we were at in the storyline. I found 'Of Women and Salt' to be tragically poetic and real. Not everything is always tied up with a pretty bow, no matter how hard we work or want things to work out. I would absolutely recommend 'Of Women and Salt' and honestly, I may read it again in print to see what I missed or didn't listen closely enough to during the audiobook.
Reader's Note: 'Of Women and Salt' includes themes of drug use and abuse.
