3.75/5 gifted by the publisher

A fascinating multigenerational tale of a family of lace makers. I really enjoyed the 1920s timeline. Learning about the Flores women, their sisterhood bonds and friendships in supporting each other is captivating. There’s a thriller/suspense like quality to the writing that kept me hooked!

A couple of imperfections
-the overshadowing isn’t my favorite. I think the book would’ve had more tension without it
-the present day timeline is a bit weak. I wanted to see ~50 pages more about how learning one’s ancestral stories helps someone continue their fight for injustice

Overall a great read! The translation reads smoothly with a very interesting storyline!
