This is a book that mostly takes place in St Louis, so enjoyed reading about places in town. A screwed up family but the story is not told linear--it bounces from present day back to explain some history to present day & then back, etc, etc. Makes for a sort of jumbled reading but also you want to continue to end to see how pieces all fit & what becomes of them. Some parts are funny but overall just a sort of sad family--the 2 kids really seemed screwed up but at very end maybe getting it figured out. Lots of underlying things going on but not sure really buying into those as causes for screwed up kids.
There are 7 WL for book on PBS, not sure will post since does have local references. No hurry at least, will figure as keeper for now.
