Book Review:
Glass makes a remarkable debut with this family saga, covering elements of historical fiction, drama, mystery, adventure, and also dealing with the much-needed awareness of post-partum depression. Glass's writing is superlative! I absolutely loved the literary charm she brings into her lines in every page. The characterization of Mary, Rose, and Estelle is brilliantly done. And Glass shows wonderful depth of character in how she writes their lines. Their dialogues stay true to their characters and reflect their inner mental turmoil and agony.
