It’s a beautiful read. Currently bedridden so listening to a lot of audiobooks. This one blew my socks off. I love mellow emotional drama and this book delivered . It did not presume the right or wrong things to have done. The mother telling her three grown daughters what her life was and what choices she made and in such a motherly affectionate yet protective way. I loved how it captured the essence of all the characters in the book. Beautiful summer/beach read!
