This was between a pick and so-so for me. I really enjoyed the first two thirds, but somehow the story ran out of steam and I stopped believing it by the end. A pity because Joan London has a lot of interesting things to say about family relationships, the bonds and tensions between parents and children and between siblings. But, for me, her most recent novel The Golden Age says it more satisfyingly.

LeeRHarry Good to know - one of my favourite books is Gilgamesh 😊 7y
CarolynM @LeeRHarry I liked Gilgamesh a lot too. This one started so well but I was a bit disappointed by the time I finished it. 7y
MrsMalaprop I have enjoyed all her books. Loved 7y
CarolynM @MrsMalaprop I loved The Golden Age too. It may have over inflated my expectations of this one. 7y
