First of all: the cover for this book is absolutely gorgeous. I'm in awe. I preordered this book because I need it on my shelves.
Secondly: what's between the covers is equally gorgeous. We have a multigenerational story about (mostly) women as they sort through all of their trauma, most of which they don't even remember the source of. The descriptions of the shadow garden and grief and summertime in Kentucky were all lush and beautiful. And by the end, I was a complete and utter mess because I just had so many feelings all at once.
Thank you to Grand Central Publishing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
