2009 book 86

Sally Beauman's The Sisters Mortland
This wasn't a bad novel--it deals with a family of three sisters and their various family friends in the summer of 1967, when Something Terrible Happened--and then the story skips ahead to the early 90s as everyone looks back on that fateful summer. The characters are well-written and I liked the three-part narration, but parts of the end were really over-the-top and unbelievable in context. B/B-.
