This is a great book about the relationships between mothers and daughters.

I loved Hoffmans descriptions of nature in this. The natural world had a very real presence that signalled changes in the storyline or within the characters themselves. Her descriptions of rain, the bees, the quality of light made those things almost tangible so that I felt I could see and hear and smell them.
