4.5

Beautifully written epistolary following about a decade of correspondence between an older woman and multiple people in her life. Heartbreaking and funny, this was a great read, and even nicer as an audio with multiple narrators.

Touching, poignant and so beautifully written. The audiobook was particularly good with multiple narrators. I so appreciate a story of an elderly woman who is not infantilized. She is a whole character with dreams and regrets and not just a “sassy little old lady.”
