I can’t decide how to describe this book. Maybe heart wrenching and passionate. There is happiness and inspiring moments, but I often had to put it down to sit with what I had read. I wish I could read it for the first time all over again.

dittotrainer's review against another edition

Felt like cultural appropriation suffering porn that exotifies the women involved. There is a lot that happens in that era of history however the main character seems to more often than not be conveniently there for it. Grief slamming into grief slamming into grief
