5.0
A dysfunctional family, the American Dream and Alzheimer's disease makes for a beautifully depressing read. It's hard to write characters that make the reader feel so strongly as Miller does, even overtly, let alone with such subtlety. I- there are simply no words for it.
Graphic: Death, Suicide attempt, and Suicide
Moderate: Dementia, Death of parent, Terminal illness, and Mental illness
Minor: Emotional abuse and Domestic abuse
