This was a gorgeous book. It reminded me of a couple of favorites, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and When Breath Becomes Air. It's a sweeping story of a woman's life as she reaches 100 years. The good, the bad, and the ugly. A meandering story of what she's seen and been through. I really did enjoy it.
