The synopsis Goodreads has for this book isn't even remotely related to the book I just read, Hanna's Daughters by Marianne Fredriksson. This is the story of 3 generations of Swedish women: grandmother, mother, daughter. They've each had a different life yet each has had to deal with great loss. It is the story of how the events of one generation affect the next generation. It was a little hard to keep all the names and places straight. The time period is from the second half of the 1800's through the 1900's.
