The writing is lovely, and I very much enjoyed all of Clara's (the main character) stories - she has a good voice. It's also fun to read a book set in an area you know pretty well, which is true for me of upstate New York. But still I ended up thinking there was probably more here to tell. This is a quick read - maybe a little too quick - and a story very gently told.
