Another beautiful family drama! The same writing that really drives to the heart of family issues and puts words to feelings I didn’t know I had. A long and beautiful story about marriage and parenthood. I felt a personal draw to multiple characters.

Would have been 4 stars but way too long and the main character was insufferable
