Yes
Loveable characters:

Loved this! Sad but hopeful. Final pages are beautifully done and knowing Hamlet made the final passages even more heartbreaking. Loved that I could picture the house on Henley Street and at Hewlands - I've been in those houses! How amazing that of all the people who have stepped into those doors I am somehow one of those people. And of course I love stories of women and mothers and women who behave differently than the expectations set for them
