When We Were the Kennedys: A Memoir from Mexico, Maine by Monica Wood

4.0

It's a very sweet book about a girl learning to get back to the job of living after her father dies suddenly. I especially loved the relationship that she and her sisters had with their uncle, Father Bob. I did feel, throughout, that I really only had a surface understanding of the characters. Most of the book made me feel as if I was only privy to the child's perspective and none of the interiority that one hopes to receive when an adult writes a memoir mostly set in the very long ago.
