review 1: A very quick read but manages to convey a huge variety of emotion and plot, though perhaps that is also a weakness as the sheer number of dramas that are referenced seem to be rather farfetched. The parts that actually focused around the loss of the father to cancer were particularly poignant to me personally. The fantastical elements seemed out of place for the most part, with not nearly enough build up.
review 2: I read this book in just a couple of hours but my! has it stayed with me. There are people who come from families that just don't quite work, where siblings know each other but don't understand each other, when, no matter how hard you try, you just can't be together, when you've been through so much and should be (and once were?) so close, but you ju... morest aren't. I obviously come from a family like that and this book hit me right in the heart. The yearning for freedom whilst still holding onto the ties that bind resonated with me. Sarah Pinborough was able to succinctly and beautifully render the heartache that grief and bereavement can bring to families that just can't quite get beyond the discord. She knows the faultlines, the trigger points, that loving dysfunctional families have and I am grateful for this little book she wrote. less
