dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Deep dive into recreating the lives of a group not often recognized: women brought to the French colony in North America. The chapters alternate among the women but in a way that, to me, chops up the narrative.
