The characters in this book are so richly written. I feel I've only scratched the surface on them and a reread is necessary to catch all the details woven into the novel.
The three generations of women are very different but as you read you realise how similar they are and how their fates reflect each other.

This book had some great character moments, and I thought the exploration of family relationships, love, and politics was interesting. However, I felt that some of the characterizations were heavy handed, stereotypical, and a little disappointing. The interlude about the amusement park husband was also just confusing and felt unnecessary.
