I loved the Canadian representation. A thought provoking book heavily focusing on three main characters (a mom and a set of twins) and their lives and relationships while separated as well as the complicated reunion. Slower pace but so worth the read.

It felt a little slow getting started, but ended as a beautiful and magical character study of a family of complex women. The descriptions of food left me drooling!
