The book is well-written, with an even pace, and pretty good editing. The story has an unutterable melancholy that never lets up. The parents should never have been together - or been parents. Although there was little physical abuse, there was no real affection from the parents. The children spent their lives seeking comfort, and looking for emotional and physical relief in the same way their parents had done. I didn't want to keep reading the book, because there was not much pleasure in reading about the emotional pain of children. I was hoping that they would success in spite of it.I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my review.
