    "Her breasts jiggled fetchingly"

    I wish "her boobs boobed boobily" were just a meme but it's REAL 😭

    Second book I read from the author, I loved the first one, but this one has left me absolutely cold 🥶

    I found the book extremely long, with many plot hooks that were either too long or too short to get my full attention, and in general the story in itself wasn't too...new in the way of presenting the tale of a family through the years. The author already did this with a previous book, which I loved, but doing it a second time felt extremely repetitive 😢

    On top of that, sorry, I could not buy the main romance story: the husband is ashamed of the wife for years, threatens her, nearly abandons her, and yet "he grew nice and soft with age", oh please. Not denying it may be a reality, but I just couldn't feel sympathy for the husband.

    Plus, it's supposed to be a story about women's resilience, but...only two or three end up truly making a life for themselves while the rest end up under their husbands' thumb. I know it's supposed to reflect the Spanish society from the 30s to the 90s, again not denying things were like that, but...I don't know, don't sell a story of resilience and then leave things like that 😅

    The subject of the book is very heavy, unfortunately, finishing it left me with this reaction: IMG-3244.png
