review 1: Good fast read. Story of a disfunctional family coming together for Christmas. This is the first time they have all been together since the death of their father. They all have secrets which they think no one else knows. Mostly centres round Lorraine and her relationship with her assorted children. All of them are grown up and have their own problems and dilemmas in life. Good read felt the ending a bit weak though and a little rushed
review 2: The story unfolds naturally - and sometimes chillingly - as each member of the White and Black families tell the reader their tale. The prose is often beautiful, but unflinching, as heartbreak, addictions, affairs, and even murders are confessed. Although the story comes to a satisfying conclusion, at the end only the re... moreader knows the whole story of these families...and even then we're left with lingering questions. That's a tricky feat for a writer to pull off well, but Shannon Yarbrough does it with this novel. less
