April 2024 pick & meeting hosted by Sarah. Fascinating biological facts woven into the story, which prompts you to think about plants and animals as intellectual beings. Thoughtful prompts to reconsider heritage/ancestors/traditions and their impact on future generations and generational trauma. The book started a bit slow, the fig storyline took a minute to get into and some folks wanted more character development.

This book reminds me of dark chocolate; bittersweet. It was full of sweet moments and then there was the bittersweet moments of war and pain.
