This was my first Evaristo and now I'm excited to dive more into her work. The characters in this story are flawed, funny and beautiful humans. I don't think I've ever read such a true and yet lighthearted portrayal of the elderly. The ending does feel too free of conflicts, but the rest of the story is so captivating I didn't find myself caring much for the rushness.
