The main subject of this book is family relationships. The author explores this by envisaging about the most complex family one could imagine. A family that includes homosexuality, domestic abuse, secrets, estrangement, jealousy and regrets. It is interesting to see how someone (Sabine), who has lived a lot of her life - all her adulthood anyway - in one place (California) responds when plunged into the midst of a family in a very different place (Nebraska).
I enjoyed the nuences and complexities of the story, but was slightly unfulfilled by the ending, which could be interpreted in a number of ways - but perhaps that is just what life is like.
