pickI‘m surprised this book hasn‘t gotten more press. It‘s stunning. I rarely cry when reading a book & this one got me. A bi-racial couple & twin sons in rural England, attempting to navigate racism & poverty amidst a dissolving marriage. Told by all the characters in the novel, it is a story told through seasons of a year & a study in grief that is so quiet & so deep. Beautifully written and filled with bountiful descriptions of nature. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BarbaraBB Oow, stacking too of course! 7d
Suet624 @Cathythoughts @sarahbarnes @barbarabb I can‘t wait for you all to read it. It might have been that the piano music I was listening added a particular feeling to my reading but still…it was fabulous. 7d
BarbaraBB It won‘t be published here until March but I already placed a preorder 🤷🏻♀️ 7d
Suet624 @BarbaraBB oh! I never even thought of the fact that it hadn‘t been published there yet. 7d
BarbaraBB Neither did I. I hadn‘t heard of the book until a few hours ago 😉 7d
Cathythoughts I checked in Waterstones here. They had the hardback and it‘s gone, but they should have the paperback by end of Jan 👍🏻 6d
