dashwoodj 's review for:
Family Album
by Penelope Lively
I found this novel which is basically a reminiscence of the various members of a large English family intriguing. Like a couple of the extraneous characters, I am fascinated by large families. Being an only child, I find the sibling relationship somewhat mysterious and very interesting. While the main secret they all share was predictable, the voices of each other family members was separate and distinct. Lively's books unfold like a warm late summer's day in the country. This was no exception. Her stories seem just an excuse to meet characters with interesting insights and interactions.
