I enjoyed the story of Astrid & Veronika's friendship, but I found that I never truly immersed myself in the book. While it was a nice story, it was a book that had I stopped reading midway through and not finished it, I wouldn't have been upset. The book is poignant,and thought provoking, but not terribly captivating.
Excellent - just excellent. I hope I have half the grace and compassion that Veronika shows toward Astrid. Thank you for the chance to read such a wonderful story.
A hauntingly lovely novel about two women who discover a deep, healing friendship in unlikely circumstances and with a disparity of age.
