Thank you for the review! I love reading about multi-generations to see the differences in each person. In my family, we currently have five generations on my mother's side, so it is interesting to have all of us together at once!

Great review of the book. You defiantly lured me in wanting to know more. I like how it goes from one place to the other but never really gets off course. Thats hard to do when writting. I also love that there is a love story in the writting that may or maynot transpire. Either way im excited to see what happens.

Not usually my type of book but it sounds promising.

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Great, thorough review! I like how the author focused on the three women of different generations and their experiences. It definitely sounds like an interesting premise!

Excellent! Though I'm a fan of romance novels, I also like love stories included in books that aren't romance novels. In the romance genre, you pretty much always know how it's going to end, but with a love story outside of that genre, you never know. :mrgreen:

The author certainly used her time wisely. It's not exactly easy to have three separate but intertwined storylines in one novel of this length without one or two of the storylines feeling incomplete or underdeveloped, but each Bennett woman's storyline here is complete.

Thank you for an absolutely wonderful review! Your analysis of the intermingled relationships and their dynamics, the human nature's resistance to change, but the soul's seeking redemption through love, forgiveness and warmth shows the real story of life for us all. The author's generational tale relates to us striving to be better than the past and hopes for the future. Thanks for an insightful look into this work! It sounds like a must read to me!
