Daughter's Keeper by Ayelet Waldman
4.0
A solid book about relationships, underpinned by commentary on the drug war and the flow on effect it has had on many people.
I didn't realise this when I started reading but this novel was a perfect companion piece for Johann Hari's :Chasing the Scream" which I read last month.
I really like the way Waldman writes, whatever her subject matter. This book is no exception, although there is a little bit too much explaining how the characters feel, in ways that seem a little too knowing for a third person narrator. The ending quite tidy, possibly a bit too much so, but not over sanitised.
