Welcome to Litsy!

This is an underrated gem. Told from the perspectives of multiple members of the same family from 42 year old Maeve to 6 year old Cyrus. The characters are beautifully crafted with distinct voices, the family dynamics explored in a nuanced and authentic way. While there are some hard moments it is a relatively low stakes book with a fairly straightforward plot. But this is a strong pick for anyone who loves exploration of character.

Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

Today‘s Prompt: OPPOSITE OF “FOLLOW”

THE FAMILY SHIP has a storyline that takes us into a pecking order of sorts with the oldest child being respected as the “LEAD”ER.

This is the second book that I have read by this author. True Places was excellent. A real page turner. I loved it. I was not quite as happy with this one. It was not horrible mind you but didn't give me what I love in this type of book either.
3/5 stars
