My second time reading this book. A story of Love and its many forms: a somewhat loveless (perhaps platonic) but peaceful and long marriage, one with adultery and abortion, another separated but with two kids. Felt like reading poetry, a prose, rather than a novel, but it still put me in a weird head space while and now after reading.
