The reviews are good and very positive. Still, I do not know if I want to read it or not.

I've been drawn to family sagas as of late. I love stories that span decades or even centuries; they give me this awesome sense of expansiveness that totally immerses me in the book.

Latest Review: Who Told You That You Were Naked? by William Combs

In the first place, I liked the title of this novel. It looks like, this is the story of a family, inside relationships, the huge house in which generations of family members lived, and the surrounding property.

There is a long-buried secret in the family which the head of the family wants to disclose on a family re-union. This suspense makes readers curious to know what could be that secret thing. The reviewer has narrated how the family relationships changed, once the big secret is revealed.

It is imperative that this is a character-driven story. I liked the reviewer's statement that none of the family member in the story is not entirely good or entirely bad. They are human characters. This is a story of a wealthy family. Rich people who read this book may connect the story with their families and relationships.

By looking at the review, it is evident that the reviewer has enjoyed reading the novel. There are negligible grammar mistakes, typos etc. By virtue of all these positive points, the reviewer has awarded this novel 4 out of 4 stars. This is the clear indication that this is a well-written novel that is apt for specific readers.

I believe there should be also a twist to be more creative.

Sometimes families get along better and do better when they are apart.
