My favorite Book Club read of 2011.

The story grabs you in right from the beginning because you find out right away about the main character's tragic loss. Overall, I liked the book and the Calender sisters and their interesting and sometimes humerous Marion interpretation. The storyline has a lot of sadness and dealing with loss. Dealing with the emotions of the characters keep you turning the pages.
However, I thought so much of it was cliche and I didn't like how the story ended really.
I wish there could have been some better closure with the father.
