Book Description:

Oprah's book club novel.

They are the Pipers of Cape Breton Island -- a family steeped in lies and unspoken truths that reach out from the past, forever mindful of the tragic secret that could shatter the family to its foundations.

Chronicling five generations of this eccentric clan, Fall On Your Knees follows four remarkable sisters whose lives are filled with driving ambition, inescapable family bonds, and forbidden love. Their experiences will take them from their stormswept homeland, across the battlefields of World War I, to the freedom and independence of Jazz-era New York City.

Compellingly written, running the literary gamut from menacingly dark to hilariously funny, this is an epic saga of one family's trials and triumphs in a world of sin, guilt, and redemption.

This book challenges your thoughts and emotions and opens up a world I had never encountered before. It details one girl's life from early childhood through young adulthood. Haunting.

This book is beautifully written....so beautifully written that I couldn't stop reading in spite of the fact that it was very weird and disturbing. Four generations of such amazing disfunction that no one was completely sane. Yet, I couldn't put it down.

A great read that drew me in and kept me wanting to know what happened next. Does have have some abuse scenes in it so if you can't stomach that, you can skip them and still understand the story.
