I absolutely loved this book. The Lee family is so complex and interesting, detailing racial and gender tensions. While the book started with a bang, the story is more of an introspective cross generational tale than a mystery. Every character is morally grey and makes some bad decisions, but you end up feeling for them anyway. Beautiful, short read.
