Read February 2022
I really enjoyed this book, even more than the other I had read by this same author (The Keeper of Lost Things). It was recommended to me by two friends and I ended up loving it as much as they did. While there was one plot point that I guessed ahead of time, the story flowed well and I truly enjoyed the 'journey' with the characters. I loved the 'live fully even in the midst of the hard stuff' message throughout. This book grew on me and touched my heart.
Marsha is a woman who has experienced much grief in her life. She spends most of her time alone or with her dog, Haizum. But then she strikes up a friendship with a bag lady who lives fully and speaks bluntly - and pushes Marsha to look past the self-set boundaries of her life. It is a beautiful story of friendship and hope in the midst of grief.
I rated this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Quotes from the book...
When the music ends for someone you love, you don't stop dancing. You dance for them as well.
You see, people are often so very much more than they seem to be.
