i think this would have been a higher rating if the writing wasn’t so slow-paced. i’d read 5 pages but it seemed like i should have read 25 in the time it took me.
overall though, i did enjoy the story. i liked the different perspectives from the women and how their stories were entangled together across decades and miles apart. lots of focus on modern day immigration issues and the historical aspect of the cuban revolution. definitely not a super light read but still managed to be readable and interesting with all the harder topics it covered. really enjoyed the focus on relationships between women, mothers and daughters especially, and how complicated and messy they can be.
