Mother Doll: A Novel by Katya Apekina, Katya Apekina

4.0

I really loved the concept of this book, and thought overall that it was well executed. This writer is talented, writing with wit and emotion. I struggled a bit with the constant shift of POV (I would really settle into the current day only to be jolted back to the great grandmother's story of the past, which I personally did not enjoy as much). I have seen a few other reviews saying the main character is too unlikeable, but I feel like her personality is contextualized by the stories we learn of the women that came before her. For me this book is between a 4 and a 4.5 and I'm excited to read the author's other work.
