A young girl and her grandmother have zany adventures on a small island one summer. Slow, melancholic, whimsical. Not a lot of plot, just vibes. Definitely about grief and childhood, and stuff, and would reward a closer read but I didn’t have the time for that at the moment.
Somewhat reminded me of the Ice Palace, but much more hopeful.
