I thought this was a really beautiful, true to life, heartfelt and intense book. While I didn't agree with all of Mamah's choices, I loved how honest it was and how brave she was, especially being based in the early 20th century when many women were stuck in loveless marriages and had no choices as far as making a life of their own. I love how she was brave enough to branch out and learn more about herself and do what she needed to do to be happy in her own life. I found the theme of the book for me to be "life goes on." So many things happened and there were so many hurdles throughout, but the characters learned to adapt through the years and continue on. And the end of the book was INSANE. I had goosebumps.
