This book narrated by Meryl Streep is absolute perfection.
The story is exquisite in how it portrays mother - daughter relationships as well as the relationship of a couple happily married for a long time. And how the story is told — also perfect!
It’s also the first novel set during the pandemic that has done it well — so well!!
I love this book so much that I don’t want to hear any less than glowing reviews, so I’m avoiding reading others’ reviews for now.
