Read by Krystel Roche.
It was an interesting story and, as with most of Callender's work, has an element of heartbreak to it. There is a strength, though, in the main character, Caroline, that refuses to break in the face of adversity. This coming-of-age story has all of the hallmarks of Callender's writing, especially the full characters. There's an ease to reading the almost stream-of-consciousness prose through which the story unfolds. Every visit to a Callender book feels like a different world and this one was no different. I enjoyed the found family elements of this story.
4/5
