Other than the first 30 or so pages, I read this book in one sitting; it's a page-turner! I loved that the three narrators slowly intertwined, their lives echoing throughout generations. All three of the narrators were enjoyable to read and had distinct voices. There are a lot of scenes that are difficult to read in terms of subject matter, but the overall takeaway is the strength and resilience of women.
