This was one that I couldn’t put down. At once ordinary, beautiful, and devastating. The author did such a good job following characters through time and unfolding the simple and universal theme of wanting to be loved. Unfortunately despite the excellent writing I didn’t find the characters likable. Maybe that is the point? I still wanted to follow their story…but was left a bit disappointed. Still four stars for fantastic writing.
