When Jack Edwards recommended this book, he described as a coil just spiralling tighter and tighter (or something along those lines) and I have to agree. It's a brilliant book exploring family dynamics from four different perspectives, ending "in the middle of the action", although I must say I'm glad that it did (no spoilers). It also uses different writing styles which I found worked really well for their intent and purpose (I'm also always a sucker for second-person perspective!).
