I approached this book unsure I would like it – once I started reading I could not put it down and am very sorry when the book ended! The writing is vivid and relational – pulling you into every situation making you feel that you are living it. Nuggets of wisdom pervade the book, invoking thoughts, self-analysis and remembrances. The gardening snippets throughout the book are both entertaining and informational – will keep some in mind as I plant my own garden! The book leaves you hoping that the story of Lili, Edward and their friends and family continues!
