“It’s funny how three or four notes of anger can be struck at once, creating the perfect chord of fury.”
📚📖📚
The premise of this story is fascinating--a bigamist, two mother-daughter pairs, the "outside" mother and daughter are in the know, and the lives of all involved intersect. But the story moves slowly and left me with many questions. Jones' prose is, as usual, lyrical and lovely, but again this was a story that I didn't feel fully invested in.
