⭐⭐⭐⭐️ / 4 stars
This was another "Last Chance" book at risk of being discarded due to lack of circulation at the library where I work.
This is a fairly short book so I listened to the audio while at work and finished it in less than two working days.
What the author had started as several short stories morphed into a novel following multiple generations of women and how their lives became intertwined.
While at times a little dark with uncomfortable subject matter, Of Women and Salt is a profound and necessary read as pertinent to today's world as it is to that of the past.
The audio is very well done though perhaps multiple narrators would have allowed for greater ease of following each storyline.
