I know that I am going to be in the minority when I say, I could not connect with this book. Don't get me wrong, Wilkerson is a TALENTED writer. It is a beautifully written book, but I feel like I was a ping pong ball going back and forth between characters and timelines. I am more of a linear reader, I need to have thing's clearly organized, so when the constant change happens, I have a hard time keeping up. As I read, I found myself skipping entire chapters at a time. I found myself gravitating towards the present timeline rather than the past.

I know that this book will definitely be for most people who enjoy historical literary fiction, but for me I just could not get into it.

Also, know that a majority of the story revolves around a clay pot and it's history. It's very important to go into the book knowing that you will be reading a lot about a jug, it's history, how it connects a family over generations, and how it brings a family together.
