i onlyngave this book 3 stars, but 2.5 might be more accurate. I was interested enough to finish, but just barely. The premise is that 5 sisters grow up, leave their village, live tragic lives, then return. 3 of the 5 apparently have no morals or ethics. The pacing in the book was off. I also found modern slang in a historical fiction piece to be jarring. That, however, may have been due to the translation rather than the author’s original writing.
