4.0

This was such a powerful and bittersweet story. Told through the eyes of a ghost who is following the lives of two girls abandoned at an orphanage during WWII rather than dealing with her own trauma, it was a beautifully written book.
I felt the author’s previous book that I’d read (Bone Gap) was a bit too flowery and confusing for me, but this one definitely hit the right spot.

Highly recommend!
