atmospheric, engaging story that manages to feel joyful while exploring heavy themes such as grief and the complicated legacy of flawed parents. the characters are so human, their virtues and flaws presented without judgment. i love that characters' emotions and decisions accurately reflect their age and the stage of life they're in. 

i also loved the descriptions of food—i need to make a batch of cornbread asap.
