I loved this book and found it totally engrossing toward the end. Although it is mostly told in the voice of Willie Upton, a girl with her own troubles and a mystery to figure out. Who is her father? This leads her to look through her family tree and with that the history (and scandals) of one of the most prominent families in her town. Sometimes the chapters are written by people in the past in their voices which can be confusing, but the mystery was fun and not always predicable. Although I enjoyed this book, I would not know who to recommend it to, it is so different of a novel, and is really complex due to its several story lines.
