pickI really enjoyed this gentle novel. Set in a rural northern town in Canada in 1972, it‘s told from three perspectives: 7 year old Clara, whose teenage sister has run away from home, Elizabeth, Clara‘s elderly neighbor who is in the hospital, and Liam, a mysterious young man from Elizabeth‘s past. Comparisons to Anne Tyler are apt, IMO.
My 2nd #10beforetheend book and #TBRtarot for December.

Ruthiella @jlhammar I didn‘t realize she was only published late in life-so far just four books. Makes it easy to be a completist at least! 5mo
