I almost gave this book 5 stars. The writing is just wonderful, not for it's beauty but for the perfect word or phrasing just where it belongs. An effortless read with quirky but very believable people and no real plot (it's a fictional family's history) but plenty of twists and turns and a totally unexpected surprise ending. It lost 1/2 a star for changing in the middle from one story to another which left me rather perplexed. However, it did come together in the end. Read it. You can't help but enjoy it.
