Cassie is in her 50s and is very confused. She has had upheavals being orphaned at two, taken in by a very kind aunt and uncle, who never wanted to give any information as to the whys and wherefore s of her parents deaths because many things were painstakingly curious. Her husband is indifferent, has found someone and is quite alright that she just walked out with only the puppy for company.
Tracing the path her parents took seems the way to go to find answers seems the way out for Cassie and this is what she sets out to do.
There are events here which are real life stories and this was the substance of the story. It was a bit of a dark read for me. It dealt with a generation who did not want to discuss openly subjects which were unpleasant, just pretend they did not exist. Such a common thing in the past.

A bit of a dark read you say, interesting
ReplyDeleteThe cover makes it seem like a happier kind of book. Is the ending a good one?
ReplyDeleteI suspect that a lot of past family history would surprise us. Past generations were reluctant to talk about difficult things.
