I love a Sophie Green novel. I’ve been reading them for years and really look forward to them. I love the way strangers can help, friendships can form and moving your body can lead to something really special.. I love the way it’s not how clever or lucky or rich you are..companionship and connection can be just around the corner. I love that it is through incidental that friendship can be found. I love that it is not dependent on age or even common experiences..and I especially loved seeing it in Art Hour at the Duchess Hotel! In this novel we see friendships being formed over drawings and it was such a beautiful read. I loved getting to know Joan, Frances, Alison and Kirrily. I loved the discussion of regrets and identity, wifedom and motherhood that I found within these pages. I so loved seeing the relationship of siblings explored. I loved the Duchess Hotel and seeing the people working in it as well as the guests staying in it..I loved everything about this novel!
