het was een mooie familieroman om te lezen, met allerlei gecompliceerde relaties en emotionele strubbelingen van de personages. ik was alleen nogal sterk aan het overwegen om halverwege te stoppen, omdat het personage Julia dr acties en gedachten en morele kompas echt het bloed onder mn nagels vandaan haalden. noem haar gerust een ‘flawed complex character’ maar ik vond haar kaolo vervelend

Heartbreakingly beautiful from start to finish, I loved following the Padavano family over the years and seeing how different generations are affected by the actions of their parents. The characters were so intriguing and diverse, I loved seeing their emotional arcs and changes and the difference between the sisters. The writing was amazing, although I did find the book slow in parts (so is life) because there was not distinct chapters I generally liked the pace once the story got going. This entire book was a rollercoaster for your emotions and so thought evoking with many different perspectives on family issues and depression (among many more), I believe this is a must read for anyone with a love of fiction and Napolitano will become one to watch.

Un de mes coups de coeur de l'année. J'ai adoré l'amour qui rattachaient les soeurs Padavano entre elles, et ce malgré les épreuves et les rancunes passé.
