I loved this. I love how it talks about mothers and daughters, marriage, friendship, New York City, the aids pandemic... it's a beautiful, thoughtful, wonderful book and I adore Elizabeth Strout's writing style. I always wonder how much of this is based on her own life because I just can't imagine anyone being able to come up with a fictional story like this, with so many details. I'm amazed. I devoured this in a day and I'd love to read more of her books.
