This is a captivating novel which jumps decades and has multiple storylines which all come together eventually. It's the story of one rather complicated family, the ties that bind them together and the decisions and events which tear them apart; it also explores whether it's better to run from your past or face up to it. The characters are brilliantly drawn, it's beautifully written and it's as good as anything else from O'Farrell. Highly recommended.
