I loved this book and I couldn't wait to talk to my book club about it. There was so much to unpack with Lark's story. This book was very hard to read, the content made me uncomfortable but it was sooo worth it. Magical realism was woven into the story (and I am a sucker for magical realism). I will be thinking about this book for a long time.
