A good read overall
Overall, I enjoyed this novel. The story is told both in the past and the present to illustrate beautifully the ties that bind two families together. I really loved the sections from the past and would have been happy to spend most of my time there. I wasn't so keen on the story from the present, however. I thought the present narrative was quite predictable and contrived. I also didn't love any of the present day characters that much, including the narrator, Aurora. And I agree with at least one other reviewer who pointed out the odd language used by the American character, Matt. I know the writer is British and she is using what she thinks is an American dialect, but it got rather annoying--particularly the constant use of "real" in place of "really" (e.g., "that is real heavy"). It especially bugged me because other words said by this character were distinctly British, such as "torch" for flashlight. I wish the editing had been a bit tighter. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable story. Nothing life changing but entertaining none the less.
