When I heard this was one of my grandma‘s favorite books I assumed it would be dated. Instead I found a wonderful novel about the complicated relationship between mothers & their kids. It‘s a story that spans WWII, an artist‘s life in Cornwall, & a life-altering trip to Ibiza. There were so many lines I loved & the characters of Penelope & Olivia will stay w/me.
