This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read.

It’s a story that gathers together all the emotions experienced when you take a step back into your past – Kate returns to her homeland to pack up her mother’s house ready for sale, taking her teenage daughter with her. She’s bombarded with the memories and feelings of her entire life, trapped between all three generations of her family in one place.

In only a few pages, you get a full sense of multiple different lives and how they’ve all impacted each other.

The writing itself is moving and beautiful, without being too poetic (I’m a literal creature, too much poetry and I lose track of what’s going on) and I have a feeling that you could read this story multiple times and take away a different feeling each time.
