Helpful Score: 2

I wasn't at all sure I'd like this book, but I loved it. It fascinates on several levels: as a multi-generational family history, as a psychological study, a coming-of-age tale, and as a first-person narrative from someone given a cruel genetic burden. Well-written and utterly captivating; I recommend it highly.
