I read Mary Lawson because I liked the cover in the library and it ended up being a great book. Both books are great. Not much happens in them but I loved them. I like the farm life story line as well as some love story.

A moving tale of family drama, personal tragedy, misinterpretation and miscommunication. It's not a "happy" ending, but a hopeful one. Great book club discussion!

Not as tragic as the jacket blurbs suggest or as the first half or so of the book foreshadows. The ending seemed to wrap up a little too pat. A family of two teenage son and two younger daughters whose parents die suddenly; the decisions the siblings make for themselves and each other thereafter.
