5.0

The book is very well written.  The pacing starts out a little slow, but picks up.  You get the story through a single narrator, moving back and forth in time as she deals with the estate left by her mother's death.  I really liked how the story was laid out and revealed.  The entire book was good, but I was really invested during the last third or so of the book.  The book does a good job of revealing the horrors of the abuse that the kids suffered, but is not overly gratuitous, which I appreciated.
