Fantastic writing and some of the best descriptions of the complexities of familial love, labor, and mothering I’ve read.

Not my type of book. I love historical fiction but this writing style was nothing for me. It was too excessive! Too many adjectives and nothing happening. Honestly speaking, I wouldn't even give it a single star.
