Incredible book. Challenging and lovely and important. The only tiny part that bugged me was there was one place where Kingsolver accidentally said Avengers instead of X-Men and it took me out of the story that was otherwise so tight and well researched. The middle bit was hard to get through because it was heavy and heartbreaking and frustrating, but well written and honest and nuanced and worth getting through. I love the ending even though it is perhaps strange. I learned things reading this about my family and history. I will recommend it to everyone.
