This is an interesting book. I picked it up off the library book shelf to take to the beach based on the title and cover alone. I'd heard nothing about it. It was fine. Not great. Nothing substantial. Just a story of a broken family. Perhaps it could be deep if I had put more thought into it or if it was a book club book. Boiled down, this book is about what infidelity and babies out of wedlock can do to a family. It's a story of three generations of women, which I enjoyed.
While the plot was a little ho hum, the words MacPherson wrote had weight. It was beautifully written, but not flowery. Even simple sentences like "And then it rained." were placed so well and the sentence structures made it beautiful and artsy.
If you are looking for something unique and interesting, it's worth the read.
