Received a pre-publication galley copy of this book to review, and, although I have just started, it has really grabbed my attention. Very interesting story line about 5 generations of women, headed by a 112 year old matriarch still in good health. Set for a Sept. publication. Will let you know how I like it!
I just finished this book, and thoroughly enjoyed it! I love how each character is developed slowly, and the reader gets to know each one in different chapters, slowly learning their secrets and what makes each one "tick". Great story of a close family who loves through conflicts and tragedy, but not always liking each other. Very interesting back story of the study of genetic longevity. Look for this one in Sept.!
