This book is beautifully written with a spectrum of emotional threads running through it. It is a great read about family, friends and life.

Although this book is brillantly written, throughout the first 1/3 of the novel I felt as though it was very disjointed; And then BAM!; everything comes together. This is a story of family, maybe by birth but mostly not. It is a story of lives intertwined; full of sorrow, joy, forgiveness and love. Great read for yourself or to discuss at book club.
