This is an emotional one! I've never read a book told through a series of phones calls, but it served the story and characters well.
The generational trauma is compounded through four generations and finally faced and tackled by the matriarch and the youngest when the former becomes sick. Their relationship starts out strained and as the past is revealed, it grows into a beautiful and loving protectiveness that only they can understand. Their relationship was my favorite part of this book.
