“My grandmother would bring the family together without ever saying this was her plan. It was her way of leaving the light on for us to find one another, without her saying a word. This was the wisdom of her tenderness. 

The day she died is still the worst day of my life.”

“She understood the kind of person you were within a split second of meeting you, and still greeted the best version of you.”

Of course the USA did that

Re-reading, in book form vs audio to give it the attention it deserves

Probably going to DNF- let’s see

I’d never have chosen to read this if it wasn’t for book club. Reading it now..I feel justified in that. This author just isn’t for me I think.

Very descriptive and immersive and not in an annoying way, full cast audiobook, loving it

Started it wanting some background sound while I do housework but suddenly find myself even listening in the shower, damn.

The audiobook narration is really good.

The author inserting themself into the book and being overly descriptive of sometimes inconsequential things really breaks my focus from the story and feels like filler to compensate for lack of salient details.

Otherwise, there are interesting things so far, but I am nervous the author will run out of substance and give more filler.
