Graceful & Imaginative

I'm not surprised that this book won the Booker Prize. Enright has a superior command of the language. She creates fluid yet surprising prose, moving between real and imagined events, past and present with astounding grace and skill. This book is a surreal meditation on family--mother love, sister love, craziness, memory, and in particular the way one generation impacts the next.

Not too thrilled

I had high hopes for this book given that it had won a prize, but was sadly disappointed. I was actually sorry I had spent the time reading it.
