I think you hit on the strong parts of the novel. There were a few situations that didn't ring true for me but Griffin is a strong writer. Nice review.

It was a really good read. Books that have me emotionally invested in the family are always such good reads for me plus anything withe mother/daughter relationships always sparks my interest. I'm glad you enjoyed Dawn. I just loved this book! It was a really good read.

Serena - yes, and I sometimes judge a book by its cover :) Kathy - is it on your list to read? Sandy - oh, yes! I'm a totally different person with my parents, it's like I revert back 30 years. Anna - look out for a giveaway of SEA ESCAPE (and LIFE WITHOUT SUMMER, which I've yet to read, but Swapna @ skrishna loved) Dawn - it truly is complex. And miscommunications can fester and grow so big/complicated over time. Heather - Yes, I did! I had to mention the fictional town, since that's bothered me so much in the past. In this case, I didn't spend time trying to translate the setting to a real location. zibilee – the hardness between mother and daughter was heartbreaking … and such compassion in the scenes about Helen post-stroke; really enjoyed it.

That mother/daughter/sister thing is so complex, not to mention husbands and children! I love books that are about family & especially women’s relationships.

This is obviously a lady that "get's it" - the complexity of relationships and the heart of a woman.
