I found this book when I wanted something similar to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and I can absolutely see why people recommend this if you’re a fan of the first. There’s a great story to be told by Vivian being a woman in the 40s and her life thereafter. Her stories of who she is and how she became that will inspire you, make you wince, possibly make you shed a tear and definitely make you clutch your heart. 

This is about chosen family, life, honesty, and so much more.

If you’re looking for a story that immerses you into someone’s life, pulls you into the past and makes you crave more - this is for you.
