couldn’t put it down, knocking down a star for a harry potter reference and the lack of pushback about virginity being tied to morality

I love this book. It's amazing and it really shows what purity culture and religion can do to women over the course of multiple generations. I think it is a very good example of how domestic violence and abuse is hidden (almost encouraged) in certain cultures because of beliefs and values. It was a hard read, but I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys feminist literature or is interested in multigenerational historical fiction.

need some time to articulate my thoughts and write a review but very sad very well written :( even the characters i did not like i understood, while not excusing, how intergenerational trauma caused them to be the way they are :( this is also one of those books that i wish i could discuss with an english class

I couldn't put it down. It got off to a slow start, but then I wanted to find out what happened to each of the characters. It is difficult at times though, because of the violence and trauma. But it's still an important story to tell.
