This book is delightful with the talking element of the typewriter. The story itself is heartfelt and moving. It delves into topics of grief, illness, recovery and the struggles of various family members throughout all of that. I loved having the voice of the typewriter and how the author wrote that character. It was very unique, creative, and well done. It also showed the typewriter’s struggle with feeling left behind in a world that was moving on to computers. In addition, there were some elements of this story that reminded me so much of the movie Up (which is a movie I adore).
