I need to stop reading this book before bed. I have trouble falling asleep if I do. Extremely well written, but so emotionally draining. I’m also kind of bummed to read another story about a woman as a martyred mother. Elsa is brave and wonderful, but why must we celebrate selflessness as a virtue? Why must heroic mothers sacrifice everything for their children? Don’t moms deserve happiness, too?
