An utterly charming, genuine, and unsentimental account of the relationship between a grandmother and her granddaughter, as well their relationship with the isolated natural world of the island they inhabit with the girl's father/grandmother's son. The writing captures the spirit of both the old and the young with humor and honesty. A joy to not just read but experience.
