Couldn't get into it. The writing was a little off. I loved Fresh Water for Flowers though

The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline

The writing bothered me. There would be a flow of dialogue, and then the author would take over and disrupt the flow to summarize what was being said for the next two pages instead of it just being dialogue between the characters.
Also the writing was very surface level and factual, I didn't feel connected or intrigued by it.
Also the random chapter breaks were not always obvious, leading to confusion. There were many times I thought I skipped a page because a section of a chapter ended so quickly and abruptly.
The only character story I was interested in as Mathinna’s and they don’t have much of her story as the focus. So it wasn’t worth reading it imo
