“Harriet sits with my story for a few minutes, the way she sometimes did in Book Club. Let it settle first, she'd tell us. Let it settle before deciding what it's about.”
Slow down. Take the time to absorb and think about things. Sometimes a second look is necessary.
A little time can mean a huge difference in perspective.
"Do not conclude. Observe."
A really poignant and beautifully written novel about redemption, forgiveness, and the power of second chances. You definitely root for the characters—it's a sweet and touching story.
