The Memory of Lavender and Sage by Aimie K. Runyan

hopeful inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I felt transported to the French countryside and was invested in everyone in the town. 
I wish I could have seen more of the village after the grant and updates. The final plan doesn't get mentioned until about 80% through the book so it doesn't get much detail or explanation. 
Some moments were a little too long and talked about the same thing over and over but overall the level of description was good. 
I like that while Tempesté moved to an out-of-the-way village the book didn't have her abandoning modern life totally. Just because she moved away doesn't mean she had to give up everything from her past. 
There were good lessons about being open-minded and taking care of people close to you. Overall its a good reminder to slow down, savor small moments, and make time outside of the hustle of work.
