4.0

This was such a page-turner! I think I read it in about 3 sittings, and when I was reading I completely fell into the story. Macmanus's writing is really compelling, and I loved how the dialogue was interwoven with the main narrative - emphasising how much of this book is steeped in memory and our relationships with our past. Overall, this is a really beautiful book about grief, motherhood, and family.
