This book isn't the type of book I would normally pick and it took me a while to get into the story however once I did I found this book really interesting. The plot has lots of twists and turns and I didn't guess the ending which was a surprise.
The only part I struggled with was all the Swedish words, names of places and streets.
This book has several themes within it, one was quite graphic but necessary to the story. I also loved the family aspect, two very different families each seeing the others life as perfect.
Sara's struggle to keep up with the family her mother is housekeeper for, and doesn't realize until years later that her mum was actually just protecting her. Sara also realises trying to protect her own family from the horrors she sees in her job she has actually neglected them, but is proud to see how they have survived without her there.
