Set in three different time periods, this book captures all the dynamics of women's roles in the 1930's, late 1950's and present day. And it all is set around an island and house that has been passed down from generation to generation, but each one seems to have some sort of devastation set around them. There are secrets that are oddly never told, and some secrets that are slightly revealed in odd ways. But it's a good characterization of people during these different times regarding race, ambition, and as said before, women's roles of power. Despite the secrets that are revealed, I think this book focused more on relationships and acceptance than anything else.
