Praise for Our Share of Morning
"A poignant and beautifully crafted novel that delves into themes of love, loss, and forgiveness. At its heart are sisters Violet and Gloria Campo, who navigate the complexities of family relationships, the pain of losing those most precious to them, and the often-fraught journey of moving beyond those losses. What’s most remarkable is how Bonazzoli captures both the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. . . . Our Share of Morning is a touching exploration of the heartaches that tear us apart, but more importantly, the bonds that hold us together."
—Cynthia Reeves, award-winning author of The Last Whaler
"The prose captures both the innocence of childhood perception and the weight of adult grief . . . A lyrical, slow-burning family saga that finds poetry in hardship and tenderness in survival."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Reading this beautifully crafted novel is a deeply moving experience."
—Johnna Bragg, award-winning author of Exit 8
