This slow burn novel has a quiet intensity to it, as Marina grapples with personal change and a struggling family business. Marina‘s sorrow and heartbreak is felt throughout the novel, and Sophie Amoss, who voice narrates the book, has the perfect tone for this constant turmoil. The narrative takes a hard look at a patriarchal society, Croatian family life, and includes triggers of miscarriage and infidelity.

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ in the novel. Hope for better days, better relationships, a better life. Forgiveness plays a role as well. And cheese and the cheese making process. In parts happy and sad, this was a slow listen and a very good listen. Thanks for #NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced listening copy! 7d
