Still Life by Sarah Winman
5.0

Gorgeous writing in a style that reminds me of Anthony Doerr. There is no traditional plot development here — things just seem to happen to these lovable characters, but it's a joyous ride and you're rooting for them all along. Set in London and Tuscany in the mid-20th century, the story is rich with sensual details and nuance. I've recommended this book already to several friends.
