I've been thinking a lot about intergenerational connections especially down maternal lines since giving birth to my daughter 2.5 months ago. My maternal grandmother passed away this morning less than 24 hours after we brought my daughter to see her. I feel she was waiting to meet my daughter before letting go, and my baby will always have a special connection to her great grandmother.
To help me process my grief and find comfort I would love to read a female-centric multigenerational story about the connection between daughters and their ancestors. My grandma was Canadian with Scottish and Irish ancestry so bonus points for Scottish or Irish settings, but I'm open to other suggestions as well. Any genre.

I’m so sorry for your loss. If you haven’t already read it, Pachinko by Min Jin Lee is absolutely brilliant. It’s set in Korea though, but if that’s okay, it’s a must-read.
