Walker wants you to challenge what you think you know, what you may have grown up being taught, and decide if you really do agree with those beliefs. It also is a book that encourages you to think about God and in what ways do you feel connected to the divine. We have men who have great character arcs, but we have so many amazing female characters and their bond helps lift each other up. It is also very character driven, and I love the feminist message of it. This is the type of book I love-it spans decades and we follow multiple characters and how they change through the years. It is also fairly short, about 250-300 (depending on the edition) pages, yet there is so much packed in that it seems like it should have been longer! It is also written in a way that makes for an easy read. Then, a few days later I got it on kindle and read through it a second time! Even though there are heavy subjects, it wasn’t so heavy that I wanted to put off re-reading it. I loved this book so much! The first time through I listened to the audiobook which is great.
