Fear of Drowning

It's a gripping story that spans 5 generations of family members. I was always eager to pick it up and read as years of silence and secret-keeping were undone. That being said, it was a book where I enjoyed the journey more than the destination. The final stretch of the novel fell a bit flat for me, but everything that came before it made for an incredibly engaging read.

I recommend this book.
