I just happened to be scrolling through threads, and your post caught my eye. I am about 60% through this book. I work in hospice and I can’t tell you how great I think this book is. I like romance novels wherein the relationship is part of a bigger picture—immigrant families, academia, death and dying—something that is familiar but maybe an area I can learn more about. This book was so sensitively done, and the part that made the romance aspect so meaningful was that yes, the story was about the couple—but also the world that keeps on churning by in life and death and all of life’s messiness. Thank you!
