A layered story set in coastal Maine following a woman in the aftermath of her mother's death as she learn more about the history of an old
home and its connection to her family. And sooo many more things are covered in this book - history, alcoholism, spirituality, ghosts/afterlife. A central theme is the importance of woman telling their stories, but for me, there were too many stories being told in this book that did not weave together on a cohesive narrative. The story is rich but often too dense and it was very slow reading for me on this one.
