While I never got bored, I don't understand the purpose of these books. I never connect with the characters nor grow attached to their stories. It feels like a friend sharing some personal memory, only I don't care for this friend and the memory is meaningless to me.

I can't really explain why but I cried and cried for the last quarter of the book. If you like stories that reminisce and romanticize the past, give this book your time.

Plus, I love Ann Patchett.
