4.0

I love a family saga and this was exactly that. A sprawling family saga over many years following the Mulvaney family after one tragic event rocks their picture perfect world. 

Heartbreaking at times as it made me really feel for the characters and I wouldn’t class this as an easy read but I really enjoyed it.
