The three characters lives were weaved together in such a beautiful way, and while the descriptive language and overall flow of the story kept me interested, there's something holding me back from giving this a rave review. This book has everything I gravitate toward: witches, nature, generational trauma and eloquent writing, but I wish we got ... ugh ... something. Maybe it's the incomplete generational jump between Altha and Violet or the unrealistic unfolding of Kate's life after she left her past relationship. It also feels like we glossed Violet's incredible life that is such a shame for us as readers. And what about Altha and her next chapter?
Graphic: Rape, Sexual assault, Blood, Abortion, and Pregnancy
Moderate: Toxic relationship and Vomit
