Feels like a warm hug, but also made me cry at several points. An absolutely gorgeous story of family and the past, and what we can, cannot, and should not change.

Family saga… Drama without compelling characters 

Isn’t it fascinating how generations of family members are affected by those who came before. The stories are so often unknown or misunderstood. I loved this multigenerational and beautifully written saga. Narration was terrific.
