Heyday by Marnie Woodrow

5.0

Unbelievably sweet and unbearably sad. Freddy & Bette! I’m quite tempted to read this again, right now, having just closed the first reading. One of the best parts of this book is that it’s so visual. All the senses are vividly taken into account, including taste and smell (the ever-present burnt sugar) but it’s the perfectly crafted images of the island and Toronto a century ago that wouldn’t let me put it down.
