Historical fiction and futuristic fiction, following the stories of seven generations of women in a family line.
I lked a lot of the story lines and wanted to dive deeper into a few of them. I wanted fo develop their stories further and draw stronger connections. A unique storyline. I just wanted more substance in the ending.

Connie Chung's memoir is insightful and honest. She's a driven and forthright trailblazer with a surprising and delightful sense of humor.
I love the quote she ends the book with:

Inhale, remember to have a sense of humor, take your work seriously, don't forget to have a life and most important, don't forget to stretch your hand to others who are trying to climb on board.

It's been years since I read this book or watched the movie, so I was excited to read it again with(mostly) fresh eyes. The story on the surface is intriguing, the story underneath about religion made me think.
Its also interesting to read a "futuristic" book written years ago, where that future is now the past (the late 1990s), and to see how many of the author's predictions have come true.

A bookish thriller. It immediately caught my attention and didn't let it go. All the right twists and turns. Glad I stumbled on the NYT review of, "the sequel" so I could discover this first hook.

This book had all the elements I love (historical fiction, witches, empowered women, etc), unfortunately it just wasn't put together in a way I could love it. Some of the themes and messages the author was trying to get across seemed a bit heavy handed and could have done with some subtlety to make them more effective.
I appreciates the Author's note at the end that gave background into the history and lore.

It's an interesting glimpse into the lives of a group of women in rural India, dealing with awful husband's, a strong patriarchy, a cats system and life. How they come to lean on each other is both light hearted and dark.
The Author's note at the end made love the book even more.
