Captivating story of two women who have each experienced tragedy in their lives, who learn to heal through their friendship. Veronika is writing a novel so rents a house in the woods in Sweden. She's young and having a hard time processing her recent loss. Astrid is elderly, lives alone in the house nearby, and has also experience a tragic loss in her life. Author Linda Olsson writes with such descriptive detail that you feel their pain, and their joys in simple encounters like taking a walk in the forrest, or enjoying lunch together. The friendship grows to the point of each woman being able to verbally release the demons of loss, and thus heal. It's a beautifully written novel that will stay with you, reminding you that everyone has a little piece of their heart that hurts.
