This is a book that I probably wouldn't have picked up, but it came to me as a "Blind Date with a Book" purchase.  It moves slowly, reflectively, and I think you have to be at least a particular age to appreciate it, but I did find the small moments described in the book charming and the family dynamics relatable.  So sweet, but not a life-changing read for me. The ending was especially abrupt.
