The Things We Keep
by Sally Hepworth
Lost in time (1/28/2017)
Too much going on; difficult to know what part or timeframe of Anna's life the author was talking about. I was confused from time to time of whom Hepworth was writing about - Eve or Anna. I found I was flipping back through pages to find out what was happening to whom and when. The author did build the characters and they became wonderful, especially Luke. It was most certainly a good story, but was not a favorite of mine. A real downer. However, I am taking it to our book club for discussion. Perhaps I should have waited for that discussion before writing this review.
