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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tamra @Suet624 @TheBookHippie I was able to put a hold on the audio and it should be a relatively short wait! 👏🏾 2mo
Suet624 @Tamra I hope the audio tells the tale. I always get lost in audio. 🫤😊. 2mo

Suet624 @TheBookHippie also, a side note: I have twin sons who are very close, so this was especially poignant and felt very accurate. 2mo

sarahbarnes Stacking! 2mo
BarbaraBB Oow, stacking too of course! 2mo
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. 2mo
BarbaraBB It won‘t be published here until March but I already placed a preorder 🤷🏻♀️ 2mo
Suet624 @BarbaraBB oh! I never even thought of the fact that it hadn‘t been published there yet. 2mo
BarbaraBB Neither did I. I hadn‘t heard of the book until a few hours ago 😉 2mo
Cathythoughts I checked in Waterstones here. They had the hardback and it‘s gone, but they should have the paperback by end of Jan 👍🏻 2mo
