This is a very enjoyable book with great characters that keeps you hooked with family drama and surprises.
Sasha is married to Jeremy and has a teenage son, Zac. Jeremy works away a lot, so Sasha is left managing the household, their son Zac, dog Stanley and also the care of her elderly mother who is gradually getting more confused and forgetful. During one of these visits to his Grandma, Zac manages to uncover a family secret that has been kept hidden for a number of years and questions Sasha about it. After initially denying it, the secrets tumble out and we also learn about other family secrets that have been kept buried.
The story is told from a number of different characters perspectives, across different times. This gives an added dimension to the book and makes you really identify with the characters and what makes them who they are. This is especially poignant for Annie and Joe (Sasha’s parents) who experienced the Second World War.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable book with great characters that keeps you hooked with family drama and surprises – highly recommended.
