Gorgeous writing in a style that reminds me of Anthony Doerr. There is no traditional plot development here — things just seem to happen to these lovable characters, but it's a joyous ride and you're rooting for them all along. Set in London and Tuscany in the mid-20th century, the story is rich with sensual details and nuance. I've recommended this book already to several friends.

This was a slog to read but not so awful to listen to. I started listening at page 200.

4⭐️ This book took me a minute to get into, especially because I am not a fan of books that lack punctuation (in this case, quotation marks). However, once I did, I really loved it. The found family and the relationships and friendships that developed throughout the book were delightful. I do think it was a little long, but I’m glad I stuck with it.
