Modern Mrs. Darcy Summer Reading Guide 2024.
This book captivated me from start to finish. Justine, who works at The Hydrangeas Nursing Home, takes pride in listening to the residents' stories. Her connection with Helene leads her to document Helene’s life story, which in turn prompts Justine to reflect on her own life and unravel a childhood mystery.
Forgotten on Sunday is rich with layers and intricately woven tales, all blending together beautifully. The conclusion made me happy. This is a lovely book, and I am eager to read more from this author.
However, I believe the cover should feature the picture that Roman gifted to Justine. It would have been a perfect choice. Perhaps the English translation edition will have a different cover.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing an advanced copy of this translation.
