COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Such a good read! submitted by dicencal on August 13, 2016, 8:19pm This novel is very well written, and it is also a page turner as you get wrapped up in the intertwined stories of the main characters. O'Farrell brilliantly depicts the small details of motherhood, as well as the emotional bonds between mothers and their children. This novel is absolutely worth reading.
