It sounds trite, but this novel manages to be heartfelt without feeling saccharine." - That's <i>exactly</i> it. It's not something I can say about a lot of books, but it really was exactly lovely. I read this for my mom's book club (I'm sure I had a good reason? I'm not IN her book club so...) or I wouldn't have picked this up, so I'm really glad it came my way!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647764256243880883.post-65170692031156697492015-02-27T15:32:21.685-05:002015-02-27T15:32:21.685-05:00I'm a sucker for epistolary novels...especiall...I'm a sucker for epistolary novels...especially when they're well done...and I really loved this book.
