This book was extremely hard to read. I hated Sylvia more than I hated Birdie or even Daniel. I couldn’t fathom how Sara could even look at Jacob without roiling in disgust (meaning I know I couldn’t). So while is a beautiful story, it’s also far too unrealistic for my brain to grasp. Perhaps I’m less charitable than Sara. Perhaps Sara is more of an aspiration for the kind of heart I would like to have someday.
