Gorgeous prose but it didn't completely work for me. I wanted to love this but too much was squashed in and the plot wasn't really there and because the timeline wasn't linear I felt myself drifting a lot during the story. I had to force myself to be present and had to go over many passages again and again. I thought it had so much potential, I love stories with multigenerational conflicts and stories but it just kind of missed the mark for me.
