Warning: spoiler alert
This book had some good ideas about memory. Specifically, when we revisit or narrate an old memory again and again, does that memory start to take a life of its own which is distinct from the original event? Other than this, the book was pretty okay: Not too great, not too bad. It's the story of the protagonist (Rosemary) and her family struggling to come to terms with the "loss" of her sister. The final page – when Rosemary finally meets her sister after years apart – was strong:
"I didn't know what she was thinking or feeling. Her body had become unfamiliar to me. And yet, at the very same time, I recognized everything about her."
