“Beautifully written and—perhaps fittingly—over too soon.”

~ Kirkus Reviews

“Mrs. Alworth envelops the reader, like a blanket. Tim Castano does an amazing job of pulling the reader inside the characters' heads, and navigating their layers, from their appearances to their inner, vulnerable selves, to how they receive and perceive one another, and ultimately, to how they love. The central relationship is so pure, with no expectation, no promise, no compromise. What a beautiful - but oh so sad - story. Very much like Castano’s Quebec, it is an unforgettable read.”

~ Nadege Nicoll, author of Living with Grown-Ups series

“A nuanced, humane, and all-too-human exploration of life’s great mysteries: hope, death, and the love that lives on after we’re gone.”

~ Independent Book Review
