This was such an emotional and insightful read unlike anything I'd ever read before. Holly Dawson's ability to grapple with and capture the true essences of life through time and generations was so beautiful and upsetting truly bringing 'you' along. Her clever and apt intertwining of the political sphere and the domestic sphere was truly insightful and the personable nature of the book was so breathtaking and phenomenal. The complexities of mental health, motherhood and the veracity of history was so eye-opening and inspiring. Such a good strong read and definitely a tearjerker by the end
