Brilliant novel, not at all what I expected as far as the plot is concerned but in a very positive way! Switching from Effie and Nell, mostly, from WWI and WWII in the background, this novel offers a very realistic insight into family life, particularly between both sisters, Nell and Effie. I found it very interesting to experience life in a Scottish village at those times when patriarchy was privileged and its impact on the wife's and children's lives. The characters are very relatable, I love the relationship between both sisters and the Scottish environment.... A very fine novel which I highly recommend!
I received a digital copy of this novel from NetGalley and I have voluntarily written an honest review.
