I’ve probably read this 7-8 times before but hadn’t picked it up in a few years. It’s as gentle and wild as I remembered it. Reads like a series of meditations on life, death, the natural order of things and our connection to land. The perfect read for hot summer evenings in a hammock or camping chair.

i appreciated reading about a young girl and her grandmother living through their summer days together. the conversations they had about life were nice but unrealistic to me, seeing as they felt too mature for a six-year-old.
no doubt that this was well written and quite descriptive, it just didn’t speak to me or pique my interest. though it was a great pick for the month july.
”my dear child, every human being has to make his own mistakes.” shout out to my boyfriend, for all people make mistakes but i’ve never met someone who does it so confidently when they’ve been warned against something.

I appreciated how the setting played such a central role in these vignettes. The focus on childhood and the beauty of small moments put me in mind of chapter-book children's stories like the Penderwicks and Anne of Green Gables.

A really lovely summer book composed of vignettes about a grandmother/granddaughter and their time spent living on an island. The characters are so interesting - they are not the perfect grandmother and granddaughter. The little girl gets quite grating. But their relationship is amusing. A great read for lazy summer days.
