Reviews

[Liz Mistry · Rating 4 out of 5]

What I liked best about this book was the subject matter - the exploration of genealogy was a brilliant exploration of when things can go so very badly wrong. The characters were brilliantly developed and I became really invested in their fates. I loved it!
