This is the type of novel I love reading over the holidays, particularly when the weather is frightful. It's a story that spans several generations of women: Maria, the first daughter whose sins affect her entire family as the years progress, Isabel (Maria's first daughter) who is murdered one summer night in 1962, Julie, who is certain her actions killed her sister and, Shannon, Julie's daughter making the same choices as her grandmother, Maria. Then, of course, are the men who were involved with them. The story plods along, sometimes it is downright sluggish, but the denouement is definitely worth waiting for: some aspects I guessed, others were a complete surprise.
