This book devastated me in the best way possible. The language was so beautiful and the prose sings like a melody—not to mention how much I learned about Portuguese immigrants from Madeira settling across the U.S. I loved the interwoven facts about nature and tending plants and the complicated familial dynamics. I was sad when I neared the end, savoring the last few pages like a treat. This may be one of the best love stories ever told.
