Helpful Score: 1

I'm probably in the minority, but I wasn't keen on this one. I found it a bit boring, and I didn't like the way it switched back and forth between the present day main character and the main characters of the past. I typically don't like that in a book, so that's what was most likely the deal breaker for me. I would've preferred that the story just stayed in the past. I think that would've had more potential - to follow the line of these women for a couple of hundred years and stopped around 1800. Guess that's why I primarily read historical fiction! I also didn't like the "fantastical" element at the end. It's not a horrible book. It just wasn't really for me. I was just "eh" on it.
