Siblings! Each family has different dynamics, each child has distinct characteristics. Clare has always seemed different than her siblings..Beats to her own drummer. Why?

The writing is excellent, you get a vivid picture of each member of the family And the different dynamics of each within. Unfortunately for me, the story itself was a little flat. Seemed like a long, drawn out story. Could have been summed up in a short story. Ending was disappointing.

Have never read this author but Would try this author again.

Thanks to Publisher and NetGalley for this ARC. Opinion is my own.

There seems to be an imperceptible bond which ties siblings together for always.
This theme is a very important part of this novel.
Dorothy is loving and kind but way too soft. As the matriarch, she tries very hard to keep her family together while her husband hardly tries at all.
Their children at times have uneasy and contentious relationships. However, they come to each others assistance whenever there is a crisis,
A new development brings about an impasse and they are forced to look into their family interactions and attitudes. This book touches on some typical family situations, with no answers but offers reflection. Do parents really have a favorite amongst their children? Is there a conflict between nature and nurture? This story will bring some insights which are quite interesting.
An intriguing family story!
