The story of the Muirs, an unhappy family living in Miami: pastry chef mother, real estate attorney father, run-away daughter and entrepreneurial son. What tore them apart? What can bring them back together? Heart wrenching novel, beautiful style.

I mailed the book this morning to Sparkish. Sorry for the delay!
Thank you for re-starting this vaga-bonde, it arrived safe and sound in Fleckney today. I should have my current read finished by the end of the week and then I will get on with reading this one :)
I really didn't think I was going to enjoy this book. I didn't like the characters initially and found them spoilt and selfish despite the terrible circumstances. Fortunately I persevered and eventually found myself warming to them and moved to tears at some points in the book. The characters had so many layers. There were certainly character flaws I recognised in myself, even though I wouldn't like to admit which ones! This book is well worth reading in my opinion and certainly made me look at myself a little more closely than I usually like to!
A fab read which I would probably never have picked up normally. Thank you for suggesting this ray vaga-bond I will certainly be looking out for more from this author!
Will be on its way to the next participant as soon as I have the address details.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Now traveling to France, enjoy the book Icila!
The book arrived safely. Thank you.
I was very moved about every member of this family who struggled to find their ways in a not so easy life. Money tends to spoil things for the poor and the rich.
Terrible description of Miami which was so paradisiac not so long ago.

On its way to GronnLivsstil in Norway as ana-b is still away for some weeks.
Thanks a lot, the book arrived safely. I just need to finish another book before I start on this one.
I tried getting into it, but I think this wasn't a book for me.
Will be sent tomorrow to the next reader.
The book has arrived in Gouda.
