5 stars, yet it took me a whole month to finish this book — I wanted to savour it slowly, and I didn't have those special occasions frequently enough when I felt ready to immerse myself in the story. Maggie O'Farrell has such a way with words. I'll never forget this experience.
Graphic: Child death, Death, and Grief
Moderate: Terminal illness and Pandemic/Epidemic
