Did I enjoy reading this book? No
Is the writing/the concept incredibly well done? Yes
This story follows so many different characters and explores traumas extending through hundreds of years. It was a hard book to stomach, the characters were disposable, and the plot is nonlinear. 
Would I recommend it? Maybe
