This story initially was intriguing but became trite and weighed down by mellow drama which wasn’t realistic. The book left me feeling flat.

This book is a story of the lives of women in the 1950s through the last seventies. Specifically in some cases about their lack of choice and the consequences of not having control over their choice to have children. I found the writing tedious and juvenile. The plot was was predictable, but that may be because I was born in 1955. This is a nice story, but I found it boring.
