Note: clearing old books from before 2019

Did not have time to read this book - still on my TBR. Thank you for the opportunity and my apologies for not getting to it.

This is such a charming, interesting read. I really enjoyed all the characters and their quirks. It was an enjoyable storyline.

I thought the beginning of the story was quite touching, if unrealistic, in that Etta, a woman over 80 years old would suddenly decide she wanted to see the ocean and so decided to walk for thousands of miles to get there. The coyote ... wasn't sure if that was just in her mind or not. Also found it unrealistic that her husband did not look for her but stayed at home learning to cook from the recipes she'd left. I'm afraid I could not finish it.
