Lounging with my library book, under the electric blanket, watching the sad news about measles outbreaks and banned Bradford Pear trees. Work was busy and I want a nap. 😴 Looking forward to a nice dinner 🍽️ prepared by my chef husband and watching Severance 📺

Narrated by the mother, this is a story of overwhelming love for her daughter leading to an estrangement of epic proportions. We don‘t really understand what happened for the longest time, they seem to have a great relationship with lots of fun banter. Really interesting how the mother describes mother/daughter relationships in books she‘s read, actual books that are mentioned at the end in the author‘s note. Thought provoking!

Read this 4 book club! I really liked it! It‘s a family saga, but not a long, drawn-out one. It‘s very accessible. A lot of characters to get used to at 1st but it gets easier. I‘ll be eager to hear what ppl thought of Lila & her way of parenting. It has a satisfying end. Some heavy topics at times but very well done! 4 stars.

I do like a small town novel and this was no exception. I liked hearing the perspectives of each other and of events through both Amy & Isabelle. It was a very slow start (almost bailed) and it wasn‘t until the halfway point that I really got invested but the second half unfolded perfectly. Loved the backdrop of characters, how we get to hear Isabelle‘s story and see her opening up and the mother/daughter relationship. #readyourkindle

sarahbarnes I‘ve loved every Strout book I‘ve read and haven‘t gotten to this one yet. I‘m listening to Anything is Possible right now. That cake looks like it involves pistachios, which I love - so delicious! 2mo

I loved this…a lot. This multi-generational family story centers around Lila and Grace, and how looking for a connection and trying to figure out the past can lead you to information you might not want to find.

The supporting characters on this story were amazing, also! I chuckled every time “The Starbirds” made an appearance.

Read this!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Read in 2024. There‘s a lot going on in this story: parent abandonment, drug abuse/DV/emotional abuse, jealousy. The story spans over many years. It was a decent story. I really liked Benjamin‘s research that she did about the history of surfing (which I found more interesting & found more books to read).
