This was January's Bookclub selection - I am still very behind.
At first, I was daunted by this book, being over 650 pages - quite a tome. But, once I got started, I found it quite easy to read.
The story is about a family - an elderly couple and their three grown up children. It is really a study of how their original family life was somewhat dysfunctional and the way that this had knock-on effects. There are numerous interleaving stories, some of which are looked at from the multiple viewpoints of the various characters. This sounds confusing, but it wasn't. The style kept me turning the pages. Although basically a serious book, it is not without its comic moments and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
