4.5

Part Mystery, part Family Saga once again Liz Moore draws me in through exquisite storytelling.  So many of the characters were unlikable  but I found myself routing for them anyway.  One quote stayed with me after rhe book was finished : “ It was funny, she thought, how many relationships one could have with the same man over the course of a lifetime together.”  Alice p316

The dialogue was spot on and reflected the social standing of each character.  This was a dive into the differences of the wealthy and the poor in every aspect of life . I would have given this a 5 star rating but I felt some things were left hanging and I wanted to know what happened.  But overall a really good book!
