Do you want to cry? If yes, read this book. I openly sobbed in my partner's lap the moment I finished it. The characters were so real and so familiar. The writing was breath taking. This was the book I decided to start annotating with and I've probably marked and/or highlighted every other page. I will read anything by her. All in all, a stunningly grounded story of family and living.
