pickA bit slow going for me, but I ultimately really liked this #PersephoneClub selection.
Whipple has created some wonderful, fully-rounded characters, many of whom aren't particularly sympathetic for lots of the book. The plot seems entirely plausible to me and it's a fascinating and insightful insider sort of look into the rise (and fall) of a “grasping“ family*.
I'd love an entire book about Carrie, please!

quietjenn *it might not be fair to characterize them all as grasping, as it's mostly Thomas and Freda. But, everyone else is pretty complacent and willing to go along and Whipple is all about shared responsibility. 6h
jlhammar Yes, Carrie was great, wasn‘t she? 6h
LeahBergen That‘s very true about the whole family‘s complacency! 4h
