![]() ![]() Just something that would have made it clearer as to who it was and when it happened. It would have helped to have better indicators of this, maybe with a small symbol of who’s story is being told or a date. It didn’t help that there were no speech marks to indicate who was speaking and where the dialogue began and ended. It wasn’t always clear when or who’s perspective it was in and found it hard to read at times. ![]() What I struggled with was the constant jump in time. This is a really great example of a writing technique of showing and not telling but I really wished that they showed a lot more of this (if I’m correct when I say that Etta has dementia). ![]() It was clear to me, but it wasn’t completely clear in the novel. ![]() Naming her friend after her dead, unborn nephew, becoming confused and mistaking herself for Otto. It isn’t clear in the story, but I believed that Etta had dementia. I haven’t read a lot of books where the main characters are achieving and doing new things at this age and to be able to read this is a really refreshing take. I feel that there aren’t enough books with main characters like this. It was really inspirational to read and just showed how you can achieve anything, no matter what age you are. This is such a unique story, reading about individuals in their old age pursuing new adventures in life, Etta on her adventure to the sea and Otto with his artwork. ![]()
