Memory is a powerful and precious thing.  Penelope has created a fictional town that feels like home and characters that feel like a real-life community. Relatable, compelling and immersive, this is a unique historical fantasy gem.  It’s a slower pace than what I expected but the writing is amazing and the audio book is an extra special treat with a stellar performance by Shayna Small that expertly captures the essence of the story.
