After Kit’s mother dies, her need for connection leads her to make friends with Bella, a young newcomer in town.
The writing is excellent, and Kit is written with great tenderness. She feels like a real little girl in a real world. As her story meanders back and forth, the blanks get filled in, and the reader gets sucker punched more than once. I’ll be reading more Verble.
