Book club met last night, so now I don't have to finish this! Turns out, getting through 60% was more than enough, because we only talked about one plot point that I hadn't gotten to yet. But I bet you can imagine what it was based on the fact that this is a Historical Fiction About Puritans.
I alternated being interested and finding the loooong passages of descriptions boring enough that I started nodding off a few times.
But really, the reason I'm reviewing is because this is not a very widely reviewed book and as such there were not any reviews on GR that indicated that this has MASSIVE TRIGGERS all over it. I actually stopped reading before Charis had her baby, but the aforementioned ending indicates to me that Charis did not lose the pregnancy nor die from it.
As such, for future readers, here you go - warnings through the parts I read.
TW/CW: Murder/massacre, on-page death of family members, discussions of dying in childbirth, pregnancy, what we would now call post-partum depression, suicide, death of an infant, elements of racism against indigenous people
