The Eighth Life by Nino Haratischwili
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was a beast to get through. 40 hours on audio. It is the story of eight generations of a Georgian family, mostly the women. There’s a lot of background and foreground history starting from before WWI to almost present day. It’s hard to not get attached to these well-developed, flawed characters who endure so much misfortune. If historical fiction is your cup of tea, you will like getting lost in this world.
