I'm so excited the world has another book from Ruth Hogan! She is definitely one of my auto-read authors.
This story is told from three points of view - the main character as a young child (Tilly) and as an adult (Tilda) as well as her mother Grace through her journals. Major themes are mother-daughter relationships and the presence of ghosts. While reading, I was never sure of all the facts in the plot which helped me empathize with Tilly.
I am an official fan of Ruth Hogan and her ability to create flawed yet lovable characters. Her novels aren't fluffy and saccharine, but illustrate that even if we aren't perfect our lives can have a happy ending.
