I enjoyed the plot and the overall storyline that followed one family for generations. However, certain parts of the book were overly graphic and unnecessarily descriptive. This happened frequently. Those sections made it difficult to enjoy the rich culture and history this book has to offer.
Graphic: Sexual content and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Death
Minor: Abortion, Alcohol, and Classism
