The main point is the story of Anna, who is developing a strong interest in her own family history and starts digging deeper to be able to tell the stories of her mother Johanna and grandmother Hanna, on the way finding out more about herself.
I enjoyed reading it, even though it was a bit difficult to follow at times, as they were a) talking dialect, especially in the beginning and b) at some points it got a bit confusing who is who and why some things were happening. It might just have been me, though. If I had read the book in German, my native language, it could have been a bit less confusing.
Nevertheless it was a touching story of three women, who had more in common than they seemed to have right in the beginning. So if you are interested in the kind of books that develop the story of a family or the story of women, this might be the right choice for you.
