The Tree of Heaven
May Sinclair
Book Overview:
One of the most heart-breaking of all World War I novels, this family epic was written in the midst of the War itself, and shows the intense emotion generated in ordinary lives by that tragedy.

This follows a family through the suffragette movement and the first world war. It has taken me a while to read as whilst progressing through the book I didn't feel particularly compelled to pick it up to read but each time I did, I did enjoy reading it. It is a good book that is well written but it
Not what the blurb makes it out to be. The blurb has blurred lines to make the book sound as though it is about Dorothea and her place in the suffrage movement with stories of her brothers intertwined.
