I really enjoyed reading this book and how each chapter is told from multiple perspectives. It is a lovely and moving book which focuses on the residents of Victoria Park over 12 months. Each chapter captures the different lives and feelings of the residents. The community of Victoria Park is very diverse, with many of the residents being immigrants.
I love how all the characters in the book are interconnected and I love the elderly couple, Mona and Wolfie. Their story is very emotional, as it focuses on living with dementia and becoming elderly. We also encounter some of the problems they may have and how they overcome them.
I think this was a great book and I would definitely recommend reading it. The author does a fantastic job at making each chapter a different story but insuring that each is connected in some way. Also the front cover is just beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. I love the coral cover and the grey hardback, I think the colours work really well together.
