Just some late night thoughts...
I enjoyed the start, but then felt it dropped a little in the middle. Once the war was declared it stepped up a notch and was a good read!

So often we lose ourselves in the false idea that we have to be something that we are not - that we aren‘t enough just as we are.
If only it were easier to just ignore what society tells us and avoid going on a dangerous path to try and achieve the unattainable
This summarised much of what the novel is about: the clash between humans and the environment. Two worlds of civilisations and communities of people, and nature and butterflies.

In society, we tend to value the wrong things. People focus on material wealth or social reputation, rather than embracing the purity of the natural world.
“To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live.”
This book is interesting. I liked how she writes in a way that draws you in and how there are subtle twists that keep you guessing. This is a sinister read offering an examination of a mother‘s in a desperate situation.
