Really loved this. It‘s compassionate, lovely, caring, it speaks to grief and hope and community, and the ability to always start again. The small step. This was inspiring. I will re-read this. 4.5/5

This was my first book by Frances Itani and I found it very moving. It had a Maeve Binchy vibe.
It's always lovely to spend time reading a Frances Itani. This one reminded me a lot of a Maeve Binchy story.
In terms of finding it on the Longlist for the Giller prize, I see the chances as being quite low. I don't think this is the type of novel that usually finds its way onto a literary prize longlist. I still enjoyed my time with a new Itani though.

Ahhh, finally it's Friday! It's also very thunderstormy so it's a perfect night to settle in with a good book and a big glass of wine. ⛈
Ahhhh the sign of a great book for me! Look at the lovely detail used for the sections and the chapter headings have titles also nicely designed.
Itani never lets me down. Hoping her latest is a great read for me!
