Something was missing from this novel; it just didn't feel complete. The start was so evocative and just made me want to savour the whole book. The 3 generations of women was a very interesting idea, poorly executed.
I felt as though it could've maybe developed more in terms of characterisation. The story did not go into depth about each character's personality.
The plot was let down by the poor characterisation as it was very well executed on its own. A heart-sweeping tale of the early twentieth-century following a woman from the early years on the brink of womanhood through to the very end, almost like a biography.
However, the story did not concern itself with the social and political unrest, the social commentary of the 1930s which I had expected it to do especially at such a time like that. The perspective of one character was not broad and it needed a little bit of spice!
