4.5 rounded up. I loved this mature exploration of a marriage at a cross-roads. The additional elements of an immigrant story and some academic politics put it right in my reading wheelhouse. Will definitely read more by this author. Note: The author narrates the audio version and it is lovely.

The writing, though a little repetitive at times, was thoughtful and introspective, revealing to the reader multiple perspectives from the various people Lila interacts with as she tries to solve a mystery and make a couple of critical decisions.… (altro)
