Morning read ☀️
I loved this book! To use my teenage daughter‘s favorite word, it was whimsical. The writing is beautiful; the magic seems to come off the page. The characters are so great and alive, though I admit my favorite is the apple tree. I loved every minute of the story.
This is not your typical romance book, and I‘m not sure how I feel about the ending. That said, it‘s a well written story with an interesting premise. I also like how the chapters go back in time to Daphne‘s previous relationships, adding color to the present day storyline.
This novel describing the lives of various families in a remote Armenian village in the 20th century is quite propulsive. Also, I didn't expect the Anne of Brittany mention.

This octogenarian love story is so darn cute. I really loved reading it. I thought the elements came together so well - 1920s widowed Brooklyn pharmacist assisted by his aunt, a Jewish Russian woman (I loved her) of potions, to raise his teenage daughters. The crushes his daughters had with two store employees showed just how quickly and how young women rushed to marry. …And the whole way the story unfolds in Florida is just a hoot and a half.
A book, a cuppa, and a quiet house (for a while). Ahhh Sunday, you're the best. 💜
I loved this so much! Just a fun story. So much better than the movie.
The writing was good, I liked the characters, I liked the story.
I plan to read the other in the series.
