I found this one difficult to get through. Two estranged sisters are entreatied to bury the hatchet by their mother. I just found everything about it predictable. I knew exactly where the story was going within the first 50 pages and wasn't wrong. It also didn't feel fresh for me. It was a family drama but I felt like it never made the case for its existence in the canon of the genre. I enjoyed some of the characters. Some of the prose was nice. But that's about it for me on this one. It won a few awards, so it may be up others' alley, but it wasn't my cup of tea.
