I loved this book and how it opened up time and grief.
The way this sister loves her brother is so relatable and her wish to be rescue him made my heart near burst.
The family dynamics were very interesting as well. Also the way these older women were considered "crazy" is a very interesting subplot.
Beautifully written.
