At the end of the day, this book was about breaking generational trauma, and female desire and its challenge to the gender hierarchy. And I don’t exclusively mean sexual desire, I mean ambition as well.
The prose was absolutely beautiful. The characters were rich and fascinating. Sometimes I felt the grand themes got away from the book a little. But overall, I really really enjoyed this one.

The trigger warnings listed are generalizations— in which the themes are very loose in their depictions and most are not graphic (aside from the death ones). I listed them just to be safe, because although I wasn’t triggered, I can see how others might be.
