A Quiet Life

Maybe some will find this novel a bit sappy, but I loved it. Rarely do I tear up when reading, but the emotion and poignancy moved me several times in the last third. This book reminds me of
Elizabeth Strout's books
A Man Called Ove
Sam Hell
This novel is beautifully written and, despite the unlikely conceit of how these characters find each other, honestly explores the depth of grief and the power of friendship.
