Lots of twists and turns in this tale of grief and how it affects you in so many ways..  time and space can either help or harm, but there's always a full circle moment that ties it together again.

“When your love for a person is so profound that it’s part of who you are, then the absence of the person becomes part of your DNA, your bones, and your skin.”

I can relate so much to the sisters in this book for deeply personal reasons.  My mum passed away from a brain tumour in 1991.  This book reverberates in my heart for so many reasons,  and will stay with me for the rest of my life
