This was a powerful tale that spans centuries; it focuses on the women of the Weyward family, all of whom suffer abuse by men. It's brutal to read what they went through but I drew comfort from the women's inner strength, cunning and sense of purpose. I enjoyed reading about their bond with the natural world and their ability to use herbs to heal which, in ancient times, caused them to be labeled witches. I thought the book was well-written and engrossing.

Set in a backwater part of Georgia in 1822, this novel contrasts the healing capabilities of a medical doctor and three sisters who are self-taught healers. The book was very enjoyable, at times funny and sad. Of course, the sisters methods of healing with herbs and poultices were more popular and effective than the doctor's amputations and blood-letting. It was a good read.

It’s a good book. It’s funny. The egg cracked.

This book is really good.

I like the book. My favorite part of the book is when Gerald asked them to leave and then they went on Piggy's head.

It’s a realistic fiction story. I could not put this book down.

A riveting inter-generational saga with glass as the central ever-evolving theme. Human fragility is highlighted.

I love horses

My favorite character was bob because his name was silly. The book is funny and I would tell others to read it too.

This was a sweet, magical realism book. Characters were colorful and quirky, with many human foibles. Those who face tragedy deal with it in differing ways - some believing in the magic of fairy tales, others sticking to practical realism. You'll have to read the book to find out which way the story turns!
