3.5-4 ⭐️
A bit slower than my two favorite Beatriz Williams (A Hundred Summers, Along the Infinite Sea) but still a solid historical fiction/romance. I wish this book had more of the action in the last 1/4 (that was the most interesting part and it got the least amount of pages)- the beginning of the Book was slow to get going.

A bit dark and intense at times: trigger warnings for children being abused (I almost had to put it down). This book has a “Rebecca” -like vibe

This book truly is a gift. It is simple yet beautiful, with wisdom and advice that resonates almost 70 years after it was written. Anne’s comments on the busyness of life, bustle of communication and contact with the people around us, and need for solitary and independent time alone means so much today. This book truly spoke to me and I could not underline and re-read enough. It was the perfect book to transition from summer (beach life and island time Anne refers to it) and heading back to work.
A beautiful epic tale of a 2 interesting generations of one family: a grandmother who settled the western frontier in the 1870-1880s, and the grandson who is writing her story in 1970. This book is witty, smart, tender, and has a beautiful setting.
