A decent book that was easy to listen to. It's the story of a family, that is revealed in flashbacks after the oldest daughter ends up dead at the bottom of a lake. It's a cautionary tale for those parents who have too high ambitions for their children and those who think they know their children. It's the story of a family of introverts and outcasts who have a hard time fitting into their environment, but who also suffer from a lack of understanding and communication inside their home. All of them seem to be quietly suffering.
I can't give it more than 3 stars, because even though I quite enjoyed it, I never really started caring for the characters. It's like I looked at their lives through a filter. Even if the characters experienced raw outbursts of emotions, it felt subdued by the language.
