I thought this would potentially be a sordid, unpleasant read. But it was really interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed the family history in the story that brings us up to the present day narrator. It covered a lot of ground, but smoothly. Also, he uses a lot of color and metaphor, but it's engaging as opposed to burdensome.
