What’s lovely about the book is its slowness – it almost encourages you to slow down, appreciate life, your family and the minutiae of daily life.
I love the evocation too of the other worldliness of nature on a moon filled night and the amazing stillness and soundlessness of the loch-side
This book is deeply engaging and charts a dysfunctional family unit and the pitfalls and consequences of poor or distorted communication.
This beautifully enjoyable novel helped me to think differently and more positively about ageing, the loss of independence that accompanies it, and the impact this has on the individual.
