This is my favorite book of all time. It's simple and gorgeous. I'm always a sucker for anything time travel related, and though this isn't strictly time travel like you're used to, it's still about a girl going into the past to observe her mother's life. I re-read this every few years and still have yet to change my mind about it being my favorite book ever. <3

I read this book every summer from the age of 12-21. Read it if you can find it anywhere. It's lovely.

This was for sure a book from my childhood. I revisited it today, took about three hours to blast through and it was a good story, one that might just spark the imagination of a 12 year old.

reading this book as a kid made me realize that my mother actually had her own life outside of mine. in more general terms, i realized my mother had a childhood as well, and her own problems as a teenager, and all that jazz i hadn’t quite fully comprehended back then. focuses heavily on family relationships and self introspection.

This book was perfect, in the quiet, Kit Pearson way. I always find the shy and timid part of me really coming out and embracing herself whenever I read one of Pearson's books, which is very refreshing for me. Everything about this book is quiet and emotional in the smallest of ways which I think is why these books are my favorites. Another book I'll be holding dear to my heart.
