I love a good book about complex families, and This Family was a wonderfully compelling read.
Set over 24 hours, it’s Mary’s wedding day and her daughters are coming together for the time under strict instruction to keep the peace due to their ongoing fallout.
The book then deftly weaves between present day and flashbacks and we learn the story of each of the women, and what has led to the fallout.
It’s a really lovely read, emotional but ultimately heart warming. And I absolutely loved how the author alludes and gives a sense of what has happened and trusts the reader to fully connect the dots.
A holiday read for me, it had me going to bed early just to enjoy my time with This Family.
