Woman of Light is an incredible novel about Mexican women in the West/Colorado region in late 1800s-1930s. It contains such beautiful writing.  The backdrop of Colorado evokes such a sense of place and lets nature shine. 
The book has a generational theme but switches stories every few chapters, blending beautifully at the end! One of my top reads of the year. 
Received an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review from Random House on NetGalley.
