Hieroglyphics by Jill McCorkle

4.0

Jill McCorkle's new novel Hieroglyphics takes some time to get into because it is told from multiple points of view and goes back and forth in time from the present to earlier years in the characters' lives. But as the pieces come together, the intensity of the story grows. It is a story about parents and children, the memories they make and keep, and how they read the hieroglyphics of their family histories. The ends don't get tied up nicely, but the story will linger.
