A cherry farm in Michigan, three grown daughters stuck at home during early Covid, and the story they have never heard of their mother dating one of the most famous actors of their time. The writing in this was so beautiful and compelling, just so, so good. Meryl Streep reads the audio, and I think it might be even better to listen to it!
