Loved it

An lovely story about overcoming pain, trauma and self imposed expectations. Finding oneself and letting go.

Such a wonderful book

This book speaks to so many important life experiences in a natural, humanistic and thoughtful way. Parental relationships, friendship, the pressures of a successful life, the significance of culture, parenthood, grief and being a woman! I related to so many parts of this story. It helped me understand myself and process my own life experiences with a kinder perspective. Such a good read. And the audio version is great!

Beautiful story

I loved this story of mothers & daughters & the complicated relationships they have. It is beautifully written about Mika giving up Penny for adoption. Penny finds Mika when Penny is 16 & Mika struggles to feel worthy of Penny & of her own mother. So well written & mostly realistic.

the culture

there's nothing in this book that I did not love very comfortable and easy to listen to

A Good, Well Written Story

I enjoyed this. It was better than I expected. I expected what I call a ‘Beach Read’ - fun but superficial. I’m a little disappointed with the author’s need to go into detailed descriptions about meaning, rather than let the story speak for itself. I think it was good enough to do that. It was enjoyable, though, and I would recommend it.
