My rating is purely based on my enjoyment of the novel and nothing else. 

The characters were vivid and full and the relationships with each other were full of emotion. The writing was great and the audio book narration was also very good. 

However I just didn’t enjoy reading it that much and I can’t really say why. 

What I will say is the last 2 hours of the book were by far the best and did make me slightly emotional which took my surprise, because until then I didn’t think I had any emotional connection with the novel at all.  

I think my favourite bits of writing is where the characters were cooking, I absolutely loved it, it made me feel so warm and cosy inside.
