3.0
Liked, didn't quite love this book. The last chapter was the strongest; it felt like the author wrote and polished that scene first, and then built the rest of the book around it without quite the same skill level. Sadie was a force of nature, and I enjoyed her journey from lonely widowhood to exploring passion and discovering what she wanted in a partner. Also appreciated the complex relationship with her daughter. Some of the other subplots, especially the one involving her wealthy tenant, kind of fizzled. Overall an interesting story, especially for readers like me whose immigrant grandparents might have crossed paths with Sadie.
