"The way home gets longer each time he returns."
A sequel that is as rich and poignant as The Road to Dalton. While I didn't think a second novel was necessary, I certainly didn't hesitate in picking it up. Returning to the small town in Maine, I was eager to see how everyone persevered after Bridget's suicide. It was lovely to see Greg plant a garden for Nate, and I enjoyed Vera and Rose becoming friends. The other characters are up to much of the same, but it was still a sweet return.

I really loved The Road to Dalton and this sequel is somehow even better. The world contained in Dalton is completely immersive - I feel like I know all of these people. I didn't want Road to end and I wanted this to end even less. These books need more hype. Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Strout's novels.
