I liked this even more then her frist book The Bookshop of Yesterdays. The Imperfects is a complex family saga with well developed characters, some you like and others you don't. An intriguing tale and enjoyable read. Historical fiction fans will like this.

A sprawling, complex family drama, smoothly paced and moving. Characters often make the most foolish possible decisions, which is frustrating to read, but somehow it all holds together. I like how you barely get to experience the matriarch before her death, and yet the book ends up building a full and realistic portrait of her life. All of the main characters are severely flawed and immature in one way ot another, but somehow end up being likeable anyway. All in all, a really good read. Recommended.
