review 1: I don't usually write book reviews but this book prompted me to because it was so beautiful, through and through. A clear, true voice -- the narrator as a child and as a grown woman, about to give birth, thinking back on a very troubled childhood. The quirky little girl was so lovable, so real to me. Every character was intricately shaped, with flaws and virtues. They are all so real to me, I am sad to have to say goodbye now that I've finished the book.
review 2: Gripping and haunting. One of those books that grabs you and won't release you until you've finished. A families dysfunction and secrets revealing people that are complicated, flawed and resilient. Heroes and villains are all a matter of perspective and circumstance. I felt like it mirrored real famil... morey life where we all see the world through our unique lens thinking it reality and react in our own way. I like the message that the frailties of others might effect us but do not have to condemn us. I also took away a mindfulness that none of us know from the exterior of a house, a person or situation what is really going on the inside. less
