What a beautiful novel told in such a beautiful way. It captures some of the deepest truths about life, from childhood all the way to old age. I particularly loved the 'Winter Concert' story, but all of them were beautiful and unique and interesting. I think that's what is so good about this book: it makes life interesting again. Thank you Elizabeth Strout 🩷
