Generations

Three Women by Marge Piercy is a novel told from three characters in the same family spanning 3 generations. The story is told through the eyes of Beverly (grandmother), Suzanne (mother), and Elena (daughter). The women share their family stories from past and present. Each character is unique and I loved that grandmother and granddaughter had so much in common, more so than the mother and daughter pairs.

I can't say I didn't enjoy parts of the book or that I regret reading the book, but it didn't really live up to my expectation. The storyline sounded much more interesting that it actually became. It was more of a leisure read too where I didn't really care if I finished it but I wanted to finish it to move on on my list.

The concept was great, but the book fell a little short on delivery. That said I've never read anything by this author before and I would definitely give her another shot.
