5.0

If I could give this 6 stars, I would. I absolutely adored this book. Despite being over 700 pages I wanted more. More of these characters, more of their life, more of the intimacy you see slowly built over the 30 year snapshot you have into their life. Not a single page or word is wasted. It shows you their highs and lows and is truly one of the best books I have ever read. I wish I could read it for the first time again.
