An Enjoyable Read Despite the Sensitve Subject Matter,
By
This review is from: Things I Want My Daughter to Know (Paperback)
Once I got over the sensitive subject matter that caused tears spring to my eyes on more than one occasion in the beginning, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It was sensitive, the characters relatable and the plot rolled along smoothly.There was enough intrigue surrounding the daughter's lives to keep me interested and I enjoyed the exploration of their relationships especially with their age differences. Even though I only have brothers I found could still relate to their relationships which I have had a hard time with some novels in the past about sisters. The letters from their mum were so heartfelt and brought tears to my eyes on numerous occasions and I felt the love for her daughters and them for each other over and over again - even their stepfather's character was brimming with it. I couldn't find much to complain about with this novel. It won't be added to my Top 10, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
