you can read the summary for yourself. Its a long book but it never seemed that way. You learn about Theodoroa and her husband and their five daughters. Then the book is divided into sections - one for each daughters life. Some of it maybe not be logical and you would question how certain things come to be --- but forget that and just go with the flow and enjoy the stories. Loved this book
I usually read the reviews here after I've read a book. So was surprised to see so many 3 or less starts considering the average is 4. I always wonder how accurate the star rating is anyway. So while I can agree with many of the less than stellar reviews, and agree with some of the constructive critical points, for me this was a good read. Did i take issue with the daughters not communicating? yes. Were some of their stories and little too hard to believe? yes. However i took this book with a grain of salt and did indeed love it.
