pickFrom the moment of her unexpected birth in 1905 until her death more than 85 years later, Daisy Stone Goodwill experiences all the ups, downs, humor, melancholy, sadness, grief and joy of childhood, young adulthood, marriage, motherhood, widowhood and old age. In other words—a life, lived. This book gave me all the feels.
pickA beautifully illustrated exploration of a new marriage, trauma, desire, and life.

pickThis book was a combination of 9 short stories. I was hooked from the very first one 🥹 Although some were definitely slower and others I wish had an extra 20 pages 🤣 it was a easy to follow and enjoy the stories as you go ❤️

pickRelationships are at the center of all stories: child and parent, husband and wife. Other themes are displacement through immigration and how the generations cope differently with their longing for the other country. I love Madeleine Thien‘s writing style, the way she crafts characters and leads us into their world is masterfully done. It makes me want to read everything she ever wrote. Definitely a pick.
