Beautifully written, but I don’t understand how some writers get away with so much description and so little plot/action. I’m halfway through and nothing has happened in the present time other than the aunt came to live with the girls. I feel like I could never get away with that. Maybe because it was written a while ago? Maybe our inpatient level has increased exponentially in the last decade?
