An Intricate and tender tale about complex family dynamics that slowly folded me into its web.

The beginning felt slooooow and I had trouble picking it up to keep going but finished it in a mad rush because i couldn't renew it on loan from the library and would have been annoyed to not find out the end. Definitely not a must read but I'm glad I persevered and by the last 1/3 I felt like I was reading about real people that I was watching in on from the outside. Made me very much want a sister.

I enjoyed this story that spanned decades of the lives of 4 sisters and a man named William. I disliked some characters, loved others...just like real life. Family is forever.
