Very good, interesting and unique concept of three outcomes based on how a family’s lives turned out depending on which name the mother gave to her son, had the vibe of the 7Up tv series with the 7 year intervals.
There’s domestic violence in the book which is difficult to read/listen too but also an abundance hope and love to counter the dark. I’ll be looking forward to future novels by this author.
My opinion of who’s life turned out ‘best’ changed as I read more, each name had pro’s and cons for each family member.
