The Altruists by Andrew Ridker

4.0

This is an interesting portrayal of a family and its complicated relationships and dysfunction. Normally I would be put off by this type of book, and the frequent back & forth in time and narrators was at times a bit annoying, but in the end I saw the big picture and how all the pieces fit together; and how they got to where they are today; and the hope of atonement and forgiveness.

This is the millenial author's first novel. It shows good insight into the modern family. I look forward to his next venture.

I received this book from Penguin Book's as one of their last FirstReads offerings. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review new releases like this one. I will miss it.
