Wow what a beautiful and devastating book. I picked it up for #Booked2022 #abouttheaidsepedemic and I‘m so glad (again) that this challenge made me read outside my comfort zone. Extremely well written and truly heartbreaking it is a dual timeline portrait of generational trauma, love, regret, grief. I highly recommend it but save it for a time when you have the emotional strength.

LeeRHarry This book has really stayed with me and I read it a few years ago now 😥 1y

It‘s that time of year when all becomes sparkly chaos in my house. But in moments between the cookie decorating and ice skating I am listening to this book for #booked2022 #abouttheaidsepedemic . Not that festive, but so far very good. And as usual I am squeezing my last couple of prompts in before the end of the year!

Cinfhen Awesome photo 😍I read this for bookclub. It‘s definitely a good one! Good luck wrapping up the challenges….you can do it! 1y
Magpiegem @Cinfhen I have been thinking how good this would be for my bookclub. Lots to discuss! Lots of great characters. Xx 1y
