4.0

Beautifully written prose that threads decades of events into a linear and reflective perspective from Iris. Iris married a money mogul in an effort to save her family, but it ends up hurting her sister Laura in ways she can’t imagine. At the end of her life, iris invites the reader into glimpses of her life, past and present, to provide  her perspective of the human heart and our fixation on wanting to live on in memories. A bit morbid, reflective and inspiring.
