I enjoyed the story of this book. The background story was really interesting and getting an insight into this family’s life was intriguing.
Personally I think any story that tells an family entire history needs to be written very carefully and thoughtfully. For the most part this book was. There was the odd sentence or two that I felt trivialised certain aspects of family life. This may not have been the intent of the writer and is entirely based off my own opinion.
However, personally I felt the writing was too much like a transcript of someone speaking the story. Because of this I really struggled to get into the book as much I wanted to love it.
I do feel that this story as a whole was one that needed to be told and needs to be read by an awful lot of people so they can understand the life that led to these events. I hope a lot of people read this book.
