There's so much going on in this book. Really important issues of today and yesterday: power, money, race, gender, class, capitalism, the financial crisis of 2008, sisterhood and motherhood, MeToo. I really appreciated this book for all of that, plus the tight writing and powerful scenes drawn. I was desperate to finish it, although the topics themselves were not enjoyable. I recommend. This would be a good one for discussion. I won't soon forget this book. 4 or 4.5. I did feel that a few of the twists were a bit unbelievable or contrived. But she made it work.
