4 stars
With a backdrop of the tumultuous year of 1969, this novel explores love, family, relationships and fitting in. Sixteen year old Lucy lives with her elderly relative, Iris, when she runs away with her high school teacher leaving Iris and sister, Charlotte, devastated. The relationships and love lives of these three women are thoroughly and beautifully created and the lives of the side characters are very well explored. I did find myself wishing that the sixties played even a bigger role in the story but overall I found this to be both a beautiful and surprisingly suspenseful story. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
