Heartsease by Kate Kruimink
4.0

Charlotte (Lot) and Ellen (Nelly) are sisters , and when they meet at a silent retreat in the Tasmanian countryside, all of their grief from the loss of their mother is unleashed. Heartsease is a story of family, love, grief and loss.
.
I loved the setting of the Tassie countryside- and the weaving of dark humour, particularly at the silent retreat, I was caught giggling quite a few times.  It’s also a part coming-of-age story, there’s good character development and reflections. If you enjoyed The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding, then you may enjoy Heartsease.
