I guess I expected some Oprah's Book Club feel-good book with this but it turned out quite differently. Part mystery, part psychological thriller, part dysfunctional family drama, it was quite compelling.
It's the story of an old New England family full of females of varying amounts of psychic abilities. The storyteller is mostly the adult daughter of the matriarch and it is made clear early on that she has had mental issues and is a chronic liar, so as the story unfolds you're not sure who to believe.
She returns home unwillingly, only to be faced with all sorts of current dramas that bring up past history of the most unpleasant kinds. The reader finds things out only as she does, keeping you on the edge of your seat.
Good book
