DNF - I tried and kept coming back to this story, but it just didn’t captivate me. Both main characters were in an emotionally down point in their lives and although they each began to discover a love for reading I couldn’t wait any longer for more tangible hope. The mood felt like perpetual gray skies (perhaps this story is just not right for me during the cold and grey winter months). The daughters were also super annoying…let people grieve in their own way.
