I tend toward literary fiction and mysteries, not so much for romance novels or science fiction for example, but sometimes it is also good to break out of our groove and read something different. This is a serious book and there's a lot of tragedy in it, but also triumph and it's really more about understanding the motivations of the characters rather than liking them.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-21117260466502222302020-01-20T11:51:31.487-06:002020-01-20T11:51:31.487-06:00This sounds like a heavy book.

Most of my family are drugs addicts so I don't think I could handle the parts with Terry. But the parts with Renard and Evelyn sound like something I'd enjoy for sure!The Butterfly Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218064101468042347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-32876431772242784292020-01-20T09:23:37.409-06:002020-01-20T09:23:37.409-06:00It does happen in real life to all kinds of famili...It does happen in real life to all kinds of families. In this instance, the obstacles thrown up by society had a lot to do with the decline, but in the end the family is still intact and functioning and there is hope and love.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-38284919671795207742020-01-20T05:33:06.671-06:002020-01-20T05:33:06.671-06:00I had heard good things about book.
