It's certainly impactful. Thoughtful novel, a study into generational trauma etc. Weirdly I liked the prologue the most and I think personally it could've been dispersed throughout the novel. I do think that the structure was slightly sloppy with the amount of characters. It's a dizzying tapestry that loses the plot at times. But that could also be fault with my (poor) memory.
