A perfect book. The story of a family – a real family – and the gentle unfolding of all of their lives. There are no major traumatic plot devices, just the very real and sometimes intentional events in anyone’s life. Their characters are drawn out in great detail with particular care to elaborate on their relationships with each other. I appreciated the lack of heavy handed messages – I could extract my own learning and make my own judgement based on my own values and perceptions. Each character had their own, presented in their own sections. We get to see, hear, and feel them all. Takes place in Portola Valley which was an extra bit of fun for me!
