A beautiful ode to the way parents and grandparents tell their stories to the children and grandchildren they love at the kitchen table and all the other places we gather.

I’ve never read Ann Patchett before and this was such an amazing home run of a story. I love the relationships and the family dynamics that are front and center and the ones that feel slipped in. The unfolding of what might have been, what is, and what was is really beautiful. I could see myself coming back to this story in the future.

Meryl Streep’s performance is 🔥🔥🔥
