This was one of my favorite books that my Book Club read in the 11 years we have been meeting. So re-reading it this summer was like being back in touch with an old friend. It is a beautifully written story of a family devastated by the tragic loss of both parents in a car accident years ago. Kate Morrison is now a zoologist and she believes she has outgrown her once-beloved siblings, Luke, Matt, and Bo. But her emotions were arrested years ago, and the sacrifices family members made to ensure the children stayed together are now resented and festering. The story unravels slowly, and readers are swept away, into the lives of the characters because of the hauntingly beautiful writing. I loved it every bit as much the 2nd time as I did the 1st.
