This was a very interesting read. It flips back & forth between Thea & her son Odd who is now grown. Thea was an immigrant to the US from Norway in the 1890s so half the story tells of her trials & tribulations adjusting to her life in America. The other half parallels her life in a way by talking about Odd at the same age in his life, with Thea now deceased.
It was amazing to see the similarities between the lives, but also how markedly different they were too. The common thread throughout both generations is Hosea & Rebekah & not always in positive ways.
The characters were very well developed. Their "realness" made them jump off the page & feel like they could be you, as the reader's, distant relatives.
