LindsD Jul 2021 10:21am, 5 Jul 2021 48,171 posts	0 LindsD I had actually read this before it was chozzed in a time-travel anomaly. I really liked it. However, I liked the sequel 'Olive, Again' and one of her others 'My Name is Lucy Barton' even more. It put me in mind a little of Garrison Keillor, with a bit more bite. My Mum really liked it, but kept getting it confused with Eleanor Olephant, which I hated, and then kept saying 'you won't like it, it's all about old people'. Which it is. But it isn't. It's about people. There was just enough overlap between the stories for me to not feel overwhelmed, and I thought it was beautifully written. I liked the fact that you see the characters through the eyes of another character, and have to work out what's going on. I have given it an 8. I'm aware that I haven't said much that is useful or thoughtful about it, but there you go.
LindsD Jul 2021 10:22am, 5 Jul 2021 48,172 posts	0 LindsD Dio, I might be able to borrow my Mum's copy for you. And I'm sure you'd get it in a charity shop.
