Críticas

""After a messy divorce, Elaine Benson thinks that taking a job helping wealthy Canadian matriarch Moira Madison write her memoirs might be just the thing to get her nonfiction writing career back on track. Unfortunately, she didn't bargain for Moira's contentious extended familythree generations of relatives full of opinions and resentments about Moira's project and about one another. The contemporary family story, viewed through Elaine's outsider perspective, alternates with Moiras disjointed recollections of years as a nurse in Europe during World War II, where she meets the love of her life and learns a secret about her beloved brother that she guards long after his death. Although Moira and her household are distinctive, it's difficult to keep some of the numerous other supporting characters straight, and hints of mystery and the supernatural (Is there a ghost, or isn't there?) never expand into real suspense. Even so, readers who favor leisurely puzzles steeped in family dynamics and flavored with descriptions of beautiful scenery may find this just what theyre looking for.""--Booklist
