Honestly if I wasn't forced to binge this book for book club, I probably would've never finished it but it was still an incredibly solid read. The cast was a bit large and the pacing a bit slow for my personal tastes, but I very much enjoyed how expansive the whole world felt in this post-war 1919 British seaside village. The conversations about grief and post-war trauma were very well done and I also enjoyed the talks about women's rights and their place in the world during this time. Klaus and Harris were probably my favorite parts, but Poppy was a proper menace to society that I loved and appreciated (until the end).
