A story about mother and daughter relationships, this book is both heartwarming and devastating. We meet four generations of the Meredith family and watch as family history and secrets are revealed.
Grama Grace is about to turn ninety, and her granddaughter Elin wants to throw her a surprise party but all Grace really wants is to be reunited with her estranged daughter Alys. Between planning a surprise party and being a headteacher Elin’s main focus is on her own daughter Beca.
Each character is written beautifully, but it’s hard not for Grama Grace not to be the favourite. I adored her, from our introduction at the beach to the very end she was a lively and spirited woman that I wanted to know in real life.
The four women each have their own struggles that they are battling, but it is the relationship between the four that is the main focus of the book. The love they have for each other is clear from the minute you meet them, yet each family has their own complexities and drama. Through it all we see the power of love and forgiveness.
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House UK for the copy of this book. My review is honest and unbiased.
