A Daughter's a Daughter by Mary Westmacott

4.0

This was a really interesting character study. The characters are flawed and relatable, and you want them to find happiness. The drama is something out of Desperate Housewives but the commentary is incisive and your heart really breaks for the characters while their lives spiral out of control in a way that is, a least in my experience, unique in comparison with other Christie novels and novels of that era in general. Lurid, that’s the word I think Christie would use.

This is one of the times Christie breaks out of her mold in a big way and it pays off. I will read this again someday.
