- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

The thing that keep me going was the setting. I wonder, is that really how life is in England? The homes with names in the countryside, in need of updates, but so beloved?
I thought the writing was quite good, though the story itself was a bit melodramatic and far-fetched.

Interesting and complicated family history told in the voices of all family members through recollections of their past, exactly like hearing the stories as one flips through the pages of a photo album.

I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would after slogging through the first couple of chapters. Once I got into the rhythm of the writing, I found myself engrossed. I enjoyed the details and alternating points of views of the same event from different characters.

This story is a book about family connections and family memories. It alternates between the present, when all six children are grown up, and flashbacks to the past as they remember growing up in the family home. Get ready for the family skeleton in the closet!
