Absorbed it whole

I've read other reviews of this book (on other sites) and was surprised to find how many people thought it was good but very tough to get through. They thought it was complicated. I had that reaction to another book by this author, but found this one to be just brilliant and read it really easily. It was more like absorbing it than reading. The book is about (as the title states), Hannah and her daughter, and her daughter's daughter and in placed in Sweden. Each woman is definitely a woman of her generation, but in startling ways that gives the reader a new perspective on history. I could really see the stories unfolding through each characters eyes, and found them all to be intriguing and women I would be proud to know. I hope others will let themselves be introduced to these women, and not be scared off by those other reviews.

8/10
