This book is one of those books that will keep you thinking about the characters even after you finish it. It's writing style is like a jigsaw puzzle where the voices and points of view of the characters (a 30 something shop owner, her grandmother, and Esme her grandmother's sister who has been locked in a psychiatric hospital for over 60 years) are intertwined throughout the book. As the book unfolds family secrets are revealed. Definitely not for those looking for a happy, light read but if you are looking for a book that is that full of family turmoil and redemption check this out.
