Author: Jonathan Evison

Pat is going to be interviewing the author of this book later in the Fall. He asked me to order a couple of his books for him, which I did, but neither of those books appealed to me. But this one looked interesting so I got it on an Inter-Library loan.

It was certainly a quick and easy read. I’m not sure who the narrator is but we are hearing about Harriet’s life from the time she was a young girl and up to her 78-year old, present-day self. We also hear from Bernard, her deceased husband, who isn’t supposed to be back visiting her but there he is. It hasn’t been an easy life for Harriet but she has struggled through.

The story has a lot of back and forth in terms of timelines but the changes are easy enough to follow.
