I absolutely love this book. It made me feel and think so many different things, I certainly cried a lot through this novel. The exploration of motherhood, womanhood, familial relationships, and many other topics is haunting and painful and beautiful. The changes in narration and point of view are enlightening and frustrating and fascinating in equal turns. One of my favorite novels.
