Review of Tomorrow's Woman by Greta Ballamacina

Title; Tomorrow's Women Author: Greta Bellamacina Rating: Two and a half Stars A dazzling poetic meditation on motherhood, female identity, ennui, and love by Greta Bellamacina, London-based poet, actress, filmmaker, and model. Personally I picked it up a couple of times trying to see the magic others saw in this one. But honestly, I just failed to see it.

In this epic and haunting love story set on the Oregon Trail, a family and their unlikely protector find their way through peril, uncertainty, and loss. Amy Harmon beautifully tells the tale of Naomi who is the protagonist of this story. She along with her family are on their way to finding better possibilities in life. Widowed at a very young age, Naomi sets off to West with her family on a wagon. What she didn't expect was to form an instant connection with John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in both. “The hardest thing about life is knowing what matters and what doesn’t,” Winifred muses. “If nothing matters, then there’s no point. If everything matters, there’s no purpose. The trick is to find firm ground between the two way
