This book was so honest and warm - it acknowledges the problems families have, but also talks about how and why we continue to have relationships with our parents and siblings - in spite of it all!
Poignant reminder that in family bonds are our own seeds
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I liked this book for its quiet yet consistent assertion that "happy" families can be as varied as the individuals who comprise them - that "family" can be a changing dynamic as opposed to set mould into which we must reluctantly "squeeze" ourselves on occasion. I also liked the underlying (i.e., not in-your-face) theme which suggested the many ways in which we are fundamentally alike, despite and/or because of family circumstances. As such, there were certain "characters" I didn't want to let go of; I wanted to know what happened next! Yet it's a satifying read in and unto itself.
