I don't want to give too much away about this book -- which makes it very difficult to review.
You have to read LIARS AND SAINTS by Maile Meloy before you read this book in order to appreciate the full impact of this novel.
The two books are interconnected, and you won't understand what the second novel is about unless you have read the first.
The way the author plays with you (as a reader who has already read her first book) is totally mind-blowing. It isn't clear what's going on until you're a few chapters into the book. Once you're in on the secret, you can sit back and enjoy what's going on (the dual-perspectives you're seeing).
This novel is definitely a literary read as opposed to a casual read. And you'll want to read LIARS AND SAINTS and A FAMILY DAUGHTER back-to-back for maximum impact.
