‘Read’ on audio, with Meryl Streep doing such a wonderful performance. An ordinary love story in the year of the pandemic. Warmly done justice with the terrific narrative and narrator. Love in all its in’s and outs, mothers and daughters and old love stories. Times when we have our own history to tell our kids. Thanks for making me love the Nelson family- Ann Patchett
I didn’t expect to love a book that takes place in 2020 so much but wow, this felt like a warm hug and made me miss all the women who’ve come before me in life. Their stories always made me feel like I was in another world and this book females me feel like I’m sitting there talking to them once more.
I had trouble following the character relationships. They never seemed to rise above their stock castings. Meryl Streep reading the audiobook for this seems beneath her, frankly. Although I do think she makes an excellent narrator. It was much faster when I had to switch to a physical copy, read at various bookstores and the library.

A warm hug of a book. The story comes as organically as breathing. You’re never all that surprised, but you are captivated.
