This book was nicely written but it was missing something....difficult to exactly place what was missing. In fact it started with a situation or something happened and then proceeded to put us in the shoes of all the parties involved and shared their perspectives and the reason why they reacted so. Very close to real life...nothing to do with fairy tales.
Its a story about a family 4 kids and their parents. How each one has to pay the price of their own faults and the family. Every individual has to suffer the consequence of their actions.
Ok read!
The background also included the enmity between Catholics and protestant and hard times how the family manages to make ends meet.
