Summary: 4 Stars
This book contains an interesting blend of mystery, drama, love, loss and longing. It has intriguing twists and every chapter unfolds with unpredictability. So rare in books these days...

Amanda Eyre Ward eludes and dances with the english language beautifully.
"He kisses me and smells of safety and he tastes like butter..."
"He had lovers now, but he did not have someone to love."
"The world was so gray now, without my beautiful mom."
"She sounded surprised, and my herat hurt for all the times I let her down."
"I was overwhelmed with my feelings for her: I wanted desperately to cradle her. The wind was knocked out of me. "She's beautiful," I said."
"I loved my niece fiercely."
"We fell into bed and tangled the sheets."
This book is for mothers, daughters, sisters, and nieces alike...
"A longing came over me like a wave. I wanted to talk to my mother. I didn't care if we talked about... the weather, or the cheese ball. There was so much I wanted to tell her... I needed her to show me how to live through the sadness, how to make someone dinner. All I knew was how to be lost."
