Amazing

#3 in her Neopolitan story series - her attention to detail regarding motherhood and relationships is remarkable

Her second in the series which began with MyBrilliant Friend which oozes the awkwardness of adolescence.

Good book!!

Sadly a historical fiction but masterfully written and the film should win best adapted screenplay.

“It’s about being kind at the end. Gus got a coin even though he doesn’t have a tooth!”

This was a powerful tale that spans centuries; it focuses on the women of the Weyward family, all of whom suffer abuse by men. It's brutal to read what they went through but I drew comfort from the women's inner strength, cunning and sense of purpose. I enjoyed reading about their bond with the natural world and their ability to use herbs to heal which, in ancient times, caused them to be labeled witches. I thought the book was well-written and engrossing.

He made mistakes and he fixed them which means his brain is growing.

It was great

I liked it because Rocket learned how to read.
