Espectacular. Una historia sutil, y por su narración en segunda persona casi parecía una conversación. Me encariñé mucho con los personajes, pero al punto que quería que Norah estuviese bien, y mientras me iba acercando al final, con todo lo que ella y su madre vivieron, se transformó en una historia de familia increíble.

As much as I wanted to like this book, it was just predictable and too much detail on unimportant plot points. The characters were shallow and not very interesting. I barely finished this one.

This is a book about LOVE, for her mother, in all of its complexities, for her own children, and romantic love for her husband.

I couldn't finish this which is sad cause the story itself is good. I know this one for me is more the writing style I had a very very hard time with it this is more preference on my part. For those who like lyrical narrative you will absolutely love this book!
