really lovely writing & I felt a deep connection to the characters. I wish there had been a little more emphasis on leek’s life and development as a character & found some passages slightly redundant. other than that I really enjoyed it and even though I progressed slowly I kept wanting to read because I was so hopeful things would be okay for shuggie and agnes
