The evolution of time over the novel along with the different view points were interesting. I had to remind myself that this was fiction because it did read like non fiction and there was parallels that could be applied to current day as well.
This book started off slow for me but I was glad I stuck with it as the story captivated me more in part two when it shifted to Katherine's POV. The ups and downs of the family saga could stand alone but when intertwined with the events of the Vietnam war and the impacts of the oil industry, it was quiet the journey and an interesting one. While sometimes slow for me, it was thought provoking.
Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley an eARC and opportunity to read this book.
