Flame Tree Road by Shona Patel

3.0

this was...okay. the writing was nice, for sure. but it barreled through stories and experiences so quickly i kind of resented it. also, you could literally ALWAYS tell when someone was going to die. i got tired of watching women die in this book. it was a lovely story, but i feel like the larger purpose and narrative got lost somewhere along the way, even though the whole thing was told so broadly.
