Thank you @netgalley for the ARC and Audio ARC

This is a beautiful telling the story of the most difficult year in the life of a family alongside the changing seasons of their home next to a river. The interior heartbreak in each family member draws them steadily away from each other until we see slowly healing revealed in each individual and in the family as a whole. The book is told by the views of each family member. This novel examines themes of loss, tragedy, love and friendships. The books is beautifully written.
