I really enjoyed the descriptions of nature and the magic of the female relationships vs. The cold cruelty of the world of men
It felt a bit hard at times because it is a historical novel the language can be difficult l, but once I got into it I really enjoyed it.
Very sad and quite graphic at times but well worth a read

The prose was beautiful; I did have to get used to the first person narrative, and I struggled a bit at around the 30% mark, as Anna was boring me a bit with her tedious stories of her past lover, but as I said, I now understand their purpose.
