 I was so confused at the beginning of this book.  I realized it skipped around a little & once I got that idea it was easier to figure out what was going on.

The author had me almost believing that Margaret was actually going crazy.  I am so glad to find out that she wasn't.  

The parts with Hal when he was alive triggered me a bit.  Sometimes I can deal with it & sometimes I can't.  Sometimes when I can't but listen anyhow, it helps me get just a tiny bit more over my past.

I can't say much more without spoiling.  It is a good book and written wonderfully.  I didn't think I would like this book at first & went in thinking it would be put on the DNF list.  I should have known better.  I did love The House On Needless Street & The Salt Grows Heavy.  I should have figured I would have loved this book as well.  It would be one I would buy a physical copy of - I only buy physical copies of books I love.
