This was my first book by Willig and will not be the last! A quietly written book that spans two time eras, it‘s a historical fiction about family, love, and with an added mystery. It‘s pretty easy to guess how the story unfolds, but Willig does such a lovely job keeping the reader interested that it‘s fun to see how the characters will take the clues.

Thanks to everyone who participated in #AshfordRead and especially to @CouronneDhiver !

CouronneDhiver Awesome! I‘m almost done ✅ 6y

kspenmoll I enjoyed this book-loved the alternating stories, the contrasts between environments of NY, Africa, England- her descriptions evoked such a sense of place for me- 6y
CouronneDhiver I‘d be very keen to try another Willig novel. This was such a fun one! 😌 6y
Librarybelle @CouronneDhiver It was! I would be up for another Willig novel as well. I own That Summer and I think some of her “carnation” series, but I‘d be happy with anything! 6y
CouronneDhiver My library has three of her titles on Overdrive: That Summer, The Other Daughter and The English Wife (the 3rd one would require a hold lineup). Let me know if you want to read together again 🙂 6y
Librarybelle @CouronneDhiver What if we read That Summer? Would Sunday, August 19 work as a starting date? I can figure out the breakdown and post a reading schedule sometime in the next couple days. We can also see if other Littens wish to join in again! 6y
CouronneDhiver Ok! That sounds great 👍🏽 6y

This sat on my TBR for years and that was a mistake. This is a beautiful novel about family secrets. ❤️

First book finished of #24in28.

Finished week three‘s reading for the #AshfordRead , after an unexpected lazy morning with #Vladimir and #Zeke . I took the day off to prepare for #24in48 tomorrow, but somehow spent the entire morning draped in cats and lost in Kenya and New York. So lovely... #catsoflitsy

erista I have plans to prepare for the readathon today too, but so far my day looks exactly like yours. 6y
Librarybelle @erista 😻😻 6y

Librarybelle @MicheleinPhilly He‘s actually coming home this afternoon. He spent nearly two weeks in the hospital after my mom had to bring him back due to surgery complications. He‘s in better spirits, though was pretty down for awhile. He has some temporary needs now, which look like they‘ll be in place a bit longer because doctors are now recommending chemo. But, a positive step with him coming home today. Thanks for asking! Taking one day at a time now. 6y
MicheleinPhilly I‘ll continue sending positive vibes west! ❤️ 6y
Librarybelle Thank you, @MicheleinPhilly ! ❤️ 6y
DivineDiana Hope your Dad is getting stronger every day. ❤️ 6y
Librarybelle Thank you, @DivineDiana ! He is getting stronger every day, and the doctors say he is recovering well. 6y
DivineDiana @Librarybelle Wonderful! 👏🏻❤️👏🏻 6y
