About a family but contains a bit of mystery. A good read although not relaxing...you'll get sucked into the story.

I really enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. I almost want to read it again because I know there were clues given early on that I probably didn't pick up on. It is set in Wisconsin during the first half of the 20th century and revolves around a series of tragic events in one family, with most of the emphasis on the women in the family. My only complaint was I didn't find the ending plausible given some of the really poor choices the characters made.

I especially enjoyed the setting (southeastern Wisconsin lake and farm country) and the character names, which were mostly German, eg, Hilda Grossman, Leona Prunerstorfen, Clara Gutenkunst, Otto Schmidt.

Good story. I had to think. I caught the book in the bathroom at Sears. I am giving to my cousin and then she is going to dump it somewhere else.
