An empathic journey through the inner life of a woman who is looking back on her past ... A bittersweet concoction of loveliness, regret, hope, growing old, second chances, mortality, loneliness, inescapable familial bonds, long-nurtured grudges, and final reckonings. The charming, wounded, courageous Honey Fasinga is an endearing character you won’t easily forget.
This nature/nurture debate is the central feature of a story that is long and loose, driven less by plot than by the tireless recording of Honey’s ups and downs ... Something of a jumble, this leisurely, tough/tender saga of homecoming exudes warmth and brio.
