What an amazing book! The most moving novel I have had the pleasure of reading in quite a long time. When diving in to the story, it is a little hard to discern which memories are held by which character. The whole book consists of tidbits of information the reader must piece into the bigger puzzle - as a result I think this novel will not be interpreted the same way from reader to reader. It is a very effective way of telling this family mystery, and the method is true to life. Things are never spelled out for you, you interpret the characters' gestures and conversations. This equals the most realistic fictional people I have ever met, and I dreaded the last page when I would have to say goodbye.
