Um...wow! I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. This novel was so beautifully complex without becoming convoluted.
I'm still trying to make sense of the fact that the three women we follow in this story is all the same person at different times in their life. Maybe I'm thick, but I had no clue until the final chapters. I never realized that each "character's" story was set during a different time period. To me they were just three people living their lives, which I assumed would intersect at some point. Well, I wasn't off on that.
Excellent writing. Fascinating story. Intriguing characters. I can totally see why this won awards! I don't even know what to say. This was fantastic!
