Not sure what to say about this one. Fowler shares stories from the lives of three generations of women in a Brazilian British family. The chapters are very short, jump around in time, and are occasionally (purposefully) vague. The grandmother is very proper (but loving) and is of the upper class; the mother is a doctor who was politically active during her student days and may have been manipulated into leaving the country as a method of silencing her protest voice; the daughter is of both worlds and both cultures, and there is a suggestion of lasting trauma from a romantic relationship that may have included abuse. It feels very personal and specific to the author -- It was interesting, but I am not sure who I would recommend it to.
