This is an astoundingly good debut novel. It is a family saga spanning fifty years in the Sorenson family with David, Marilyn and their four daughters: Wendy, Violet, Liza and Grace. Claire Lombardo seamlessly transitions from their marriage in the 1970s to the present, giving a full chronicle of the family both individually and as a whole. Each of the daughters has challenges, disappointments and life-altering moments, which make them very real and understandable in terms of the marital/family/sibling dynamics. My only disappointment with this novel is that it had to end.
