A generational saga that really proved the point that when you go home you also go back in age. When children return home, they revert back to the ways and the people they were when they were children in the home. So in this book, Grace and Gar have their children - Joy, Roger and Tamar returning home for the memorial of Grace's mother.

Joy is the only character who narrates in first person and I think the author perfectly chose her to guide the story along with the eyes of the story. The rest of the cast of characters are not left out, but none get to share straight from their point of view. I think I know why the author did this and once you read the book, I would love to know if you agree (but I can't share or else it would spoil the fun!).
