Wow. I adored this book. It was a fairly easy read, but with plenty of substance. The characters, flaws and all, were built with such love. Each were believable, and had their own distinct voices. Their relationships all made (painful) sense. And then they didn't hurtle toward disaster! The ending was hopeful, while still open-ended. A beautiful portrait of a family. I enjoyed the way that much of the plot development occurred in the context of the characters' memories.
