[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Strongly disliked the book and continue to be baffled so many people enjoyed it. [/quote] +1[/quote] well we lost our house that we absolutely loved b/c of a health crisis and it haunts my siblings and i. We try so hard to get past it but that house meant so much more than just a building to us that we lived in for a time. I think having that specific pain of grief and love over something as simple and complex as a family home described so well is what made the book so good to me. she described things i thought unique in my experience so well it physicaly hit but apparently other people have felt those things, it made me feel seen for lack of a better descriptor. it also put in words complex emotions and thoughts i had so i was able to share it with my spouse who was better able to understand and help me navigate some of the strange behaviors i have developed b/c of my strong feelings about the house.
