items Some books just force you to read until the end. I read a lot, and these are some of the ones I still think about. Nothing is better than escaping into the pages of another place and time.
The interweaving of a parent’s history and how that shaped a family’s life. Shows how a child never truly understands that their parents lived a life before they were part of that story. A book I still remember vividly.
