Slow pace set in the summer. It’s a good book for a day in the sun, when you don’t want anything to surprise you or get your heart thumping. It’s reflective and with a theme of accepting the past for what it is. Not much conflict at all. For me, it was a bit boring but I can see why so many people liked it.

What a sweet, quiet, lovely little book. I am always so skeptical of pandemic-era stories, but this one captured both the unease and the unexpected togetherness that COVID introduced for so many families. I loved the aspect of reflection as Lara told stories of her past to her three grown daughters. The characters in this book were very well developed, both past and present, and the dynamics were realistically built. This story brought in a lot of big questions and feelings about life, love, family, goals, and more, and I thought it tackled them pretty well.
