This is one of those book that makes you think and are heartwarming and entertaining at the same time.
I think that Beth O'Leary is a talented storyteller and she does a great job at creating enjoyable story full of food for thought.
The story of Leena and Eileen made me smile more than once but there a darker undertone in the description of their trip to face and accept the loss of Carla. The grief is one the main elements in this story and there are moment when the description of the raw sufferance moved me to tears.
Being a consultant I also love the realistic description of the consultancy and laughed as some characters are typical of that environment.
I loved every moment of this story and I think I need to read it again.
The narrators do a great job in making the characters alive and making you feel the emotions of the characters
It is a brilliant story, I loved the narrators and I strongly recommend it.

An excellent story that mixes element of coming of age, family saga, horror, magic realism and thriller.
All those elements work well together and the author did a good job in delivering a gripping and entertaining story.
I love this characters, the woman are both strong and frail and they have to live with their heritage working to accept themselves and their action.
The plot is slow burning but the pace became faster after the first part of the the book. The world building is interesting and I loved the storytelling and the style of writing.
