Atomic Anna, by Rachel Barenbaum

emotional hopeful slow-paced

You might be able to change the past, but can you fix it?

That is the key question swirling at the center of this intergenerational time travel story, and what a weighty question it is. I'm usually pretty reluctant to read time travel stories and for some reason completely missed that element the first couple times I read the summary. This book surprised me though! While it is a time travel story it's much more a story about generational cycles, trauma, the special kind of betrayal passed from mother to daughter, mother to daughter. This story is alive with the pasts presents and futures of the women at its heart, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
