I liked this book a little better than Tom lake!! Loved the depth of all the character, they feel like real people in my life:)

I didn’t love this one quite as much as The Dutch House but I definitely got swept up in the family drama spanning multiple timelines.

Disappointed with this book,which was surprising because I've loved all of Patchett's other books. Well written, of course, but frankly dreary and depressing with no real centre, some horribly neglected children and no one story told fully.
