Not my typical genre, but it was a nice little palette cleanser for me.
I wish the book had been a little bit longer so we could have gotten even more little details about their experiences through time. Some parts felt a little rushed.
I also kinda wish they had all gone their separate ways at the end. They were so entirely trauma-bonded, I think it would’ve been extremely healing for them to finally be their own people.
I would like a couple more stories from their times after his death. In the end, Constanta said she’d never say his name again. I love how she never actually said his name throughout the entire book. She really made the story about the wives, rather than the man.
