A bittersweet saga set in the 1930s - Gillian Finch and Dorothy Prosser are firm friends as well as cousins. For four years they have kept their friendship secret in the face of a bitter family feud. But this is not the only family secret. When Gillian and Dorothy fall head over heels for the same man, the repercussions lead to other secrets being exposed. Everyone, it seems, has something to hide . . .
I have a tendency for picking up books lately, that seem to jump back and forth along the timeline during the novel. Usually, it is something that confuses me. But not here. The character's were wonderful, as was the plot. It showed the effects of family life when relationships go wrong.
