What a beautiful,brilliant book. Was recommended by a bookstore in Bath and the writing is poetic and lyrical. Only reason it's not a 5 star is sometime the lyrical writing goes on a tad bit long. But the characters, setting, and story are so alive. Will definitely be reading this every spring/summer.
