I am not a fan of this book. Maybe it's a cultural thing? For me from the very beginning, the book just was not engaging. The writing style was not easy to read - it lacked flow, which took away from my enjoyment of it also. There are a lot of colloquialism throughout, and terms I've never heard of in my life - I could generally figure them out by context, but still it stopped the flow of reading for me many times.The story, though fiction, is a kind of memoir written by a granddaughter about her grandparents and the various things she remembers about life with them when they were alive and with her sister. It is very slow moving. To be honest, I just found it boring. There is a lot of description about the types of food eaten and brand names etc throughout also - which might appeal to people of a certain generation or locality to recognize them? It just didn't do anything for me at all.
Please note that I was sent a copy of this book for purposes of review, however the opinions are entirely my own.
You can buy it here or the kindle version here
