Liars and Saints by Maile Meloy
2.0
2 STARS
"A compelling portrait of a family, and the twists and turns of their lives unravelled with extraordinary sensitivity and understanding. By turns laugh aloud funny and unbearably moving, it marks the beginning of a stunning literary career. Set in California, the narrative follows four generations of the Santerre family from World War II to the present, as they navigate a succession of life-changing events." (From Amazon)
This is the first novel and introduces the dysfunctional family. I read this after the 2nd book so I knew some things were coming before they happened. I was not really into the story...a bit like Running with Scissors.
