So I’m sitting in my sunroom, having just finished reading When the Cranes Fly South, blubbering so that I can’t even see properly, for all my wet tears! Powerfully written, very sad in many ways but also cathartic in other ways. Reliving your life, as it is slipping away, and yet coming to terms with the way you lived, has a purgative effect on your soul. Bo was at peace when he passed quietly into the next life. Thank you NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage and Anchor for granting me this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. #WhenTheCranesFlySouth, #LisaRidzen, #NetGalley.

This was a beautifully done novel about how we deal with aging and how that happens with relationships . It was a realistic concept and enjoyed the way everything worked with the plot and characters in a way to tell a beautiful story. Lisa Ridzén wrote a strong realistic concept and glad I was able to read this.

A beautiful book. I got lost in Bo's life and was moved at how close the author was able to make me to him. I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
