I wouldn't say this is my normal genre. This book however, was a good read. It takes family politics to the next level. A complicated past with estranged family. Never feeling like she fit in with her family and the desire to leave. Even though she is cyborg, there are things we can all relate too.

This is an interesting story about family relationships in a non-traditional family.  There is more to life than a mother, father, and two children.  The neighbor across the street is an intrinsic part of this story.  Her outlook certainly changes throughout the story but she still has a long way to go.

Was a good read.  Not the best I've read, but I could relate to the subject matter.

Well worth the read. Start out as little slow but had an interesting perspective on family issues during difficult times.

A good read for the young adult. The author has presented an interesting scenario of a family trying to cope with their internal problems in the midst of a natural disturbance coupled with political upheaval.

Easy to read. A growing up of a family torn apart by loss. A father who pushes away his oldest, who is a twin to the son that has died. Another daughter who rebels in order to get her father's attention. How this family finds their way back to being a family once again.
I look forward to the next book..

I liked this book enough to pick up the earlier books in the Trilogy. Very much a family saga, but also surprisingly political! It took me a while to get into it, and many characters and relationships to keep track of. None the less a good book by an excellent author. A big thumbs up!

a great read - I was a bit sad that it veered off of the historical story of the family by being current - but as a stand alone book it was great - will read again.

A little hard to get into but an interesting read on family interactions and where these can lead in deciding your life's path.

It was a good story but it got complicated in the constant worrying about things from the past and what family members might think. Worth reading though.

Good read. Mother daughter relationship is all so relateable at least to me. It kept me interested in most chapters ...however there were a few areas which became repetitive. All in all a good book about family dynamics and skeletons in their closets.

I liked this book club book.  It was a good read with twist and turns in character development within the family and a growth of understanding within a divided community.

This was a good book. The storyline threw me a few times but i kept reading. It took me longer than normal to read but i finally finished it. I would recommend it if you want a touching story about a dysfunctional family.
