My Mom read this book and couldn’t stop talking about it. “It’s the best book I’ve read in ages,” she said. Emily Wilson had everything she could want in her twenties; a handsome and loving husband, a bestselling novel. When she gets older and things are falling apart, she decides to spend time with her great aunt on an island in March. It is there she finds a diary from 1943 that parallels and changes her life.
