Actually I would give the book 3.5 stars and Meryl Streep's narration 5+++. She embodies the character and is just wonderful. This is the 2nd book I've read in about 2 weeks that takes place during the pandemic (the other is Lucy by the Sea.) Lara's 3 daughters, who are in their '20's all come back to the family cherry farm to wait it out. Because they can't get outside help, everyone is working on the farm. Over some days, Lara tells the girls about her early life as an actress and the people she met. Her main role was as Emily in Our Town and this story has some vibes of that as well, following a girl from teenage years to young adult to older, and ending with a graveyard on a hill (don't worry, neither she nor her daughters die!)
