4.0

I oscillated between 2 and 3 stars for a lot of the book because every new story ended so quickly and we were thrown into a new character’s life abruptly. Initially I didn’t feel like I heard enough of each character’s voice and I felt very lost about the lineage. But after some time, I gave into life’s natural progression and realized how profound this book really is. Life is short and each life’s experience affects the next generations to come. The last bit of the book really brought it all together, and I loved how the stone travelled through history along with us.
