may’s #alltheradreadsbookclub pick was a good one— a family drama, a slow-burn, a nod/homage to little women (which you know i LOVE), a portrait of love and relationships and choices made over generations. it was layered and lovely, plodding and poetic, subtle but surprising, too. i wished at times it would move faster (and maybe that’s when i was listening on audio mainly) but also appreciated how character-driven it was, and how much time we spent really in the minutiae of these characters’ lives and the dynamics between them. something about it felt written in the past, but maybe it was so well rooted in it’s time and place that i was just taken there?
