review 1: Loved the book, its a poignant and heart wrenching story about love lost and regained between father and daughter, how a fractured family suffered emotional betrayal and abandonment by the father who left because his wife promised him anything, not in word or actions, that they would have a rich and exciting life but never delivered and used the pregnancies to make him stay and how he gets in contact with his daughter later on in life
review 2: An enjoyable read. Both sections or timelines were compelling: the narrator as a youngster and later in life as a married woman with her own family suddenly thrust into the role of caring for an ailing father who was never there for her when she was a child. This creates great tension. And the fact that Weir's father is ... moresuffering from alzheimer's and can't be held blamed or reproached for the heart-wrenching things he often says adds another layer. My only criticism is that the book is short. Too short. less
