This is the first book in a while that made me want to go back to it over and over, when not reading/listening I thought about it.

A complex story with moral grey zones and difficult decisions, it focuses on so many trials of women and the relationships they have to each other - often complex and antagonistic.

Really a unique voice and a treat to listen to. The narrator seamlessly shifted between characters and brought the book to life.
