Thank you to NetGalley and Michael Joseph, Penguin Random House for this ARC.

The three Fisher sisters Alex, Nancy and Eva usually get on ok, but when the entire family including parents, partners and children meets for a week's holiday in a glass house in the forest (the metaphor is not subtle at all) to celebrate a naming ceremony and matriarch Vivienne's 70th birthday, something disconcerting happens - their father involuntarily picks a favourite amongst his daughters which causes all kinds of conflict and sibling rivalry.

I could not get into this. There were too many people, too many flashbacks and yet too little of note happened. I didn't really like any of the characters sufficiently - their relationships were all over the place, animosities were aired, secrets and lies exposed and it felt like one big dysfunctional family. And I couldn't engage with it. For example, who doesn't tell their family they got married? The fragmented writing style is infuriating. The jumpy timeline is incredibly confusing. Where is the structure? Just when we're about to get to an interesting revelation, the scene breaks off and we're in another flashback or back to the present. I really liked Amazing Grace Adams but this wasn't for me.
