so-soIn this collection of linked stories, the characters are related by blood, marriage, and/or geographical proximity. They don‘t all live on Bertrand Court, but those who don‘t are connected to someone who does. I didn‘t realize that this wasn‘t structured as a conventional novel when I picked it up, but the linked-stories form suits it well. It‘s an effective way to shift perspectives among the large cast of characters and across time periods.
