This book was a straightforward, comfortable read. I have read some of the author’s other work, which I found a little gloomy, but this one was more uplifting. Essentially it is an account of the lives of Nora and her family over a few years following her husband’s death. What it is really about is her process of coming to terms with her loss and embracing her new life. The story has no big surprises, no major U-turns and no real drama - it is much like real life.
Initially I was dissatisfied with the ending, but I quickly realized that the message was “life goes on”. It may be a different life. It may be a better life. But it goes on whatever.
