A wonderful story of a lifetime of complicated and heartfelt relationships. At times funny, touching, quirky and interesting. I laughed, cried and smiled to myself. Wonderful!
What a wonderful way to write and to read about a human story. I did not want this book to end. The audiobook narration was perfection.
This was a quick read with good narration. Unbelievable…sure, but still an enjoyable listen. I liked the ending and enjoyed the majority of the characters.
This novel was such an unexpected joy to listen to. The story told through letters was so incredible. I felt so connected to these characters, the progression of aging, the sorrows of regrets, the bravery… the raw human connection via hand written letters was so heartfelt.
