What a windy twisty story of ancestory. I really enjoyed learning all about cubby and bunny and gibs. It was heartbreaking when she had to marry little man. I enjoyed the mystery and putting it all together. I did get tired of all the nicknames and changing of names but it kept me reading nonetheless.
