Heartwarming characters and story. I enjoyed how the book went back and forth between different time periods.

Originally read many years ago. Reread.

A beautiful snapshot of a town, the fragility of life, and the overwhelming power of love and human connection.

People say this book and movie isn't queer, but it's a lesbian classic if you ask me

I have never seen the movie and would now like to.
I liked this book even though I did get a bit mixed up with all of the different characters apart from the main ones

The most enjoyable read I have had for a while. I liked the way the story travelled through decades and the vibrant characters. I really appreciated the short chapter lengths. It was a fun read!
