'those faraday girls' by monica mcinerney

five faraday sisters, their father and a little niece/daughter of one of the 5 living in tasmania. unconventional household. grandfather leo aways praising his dead wife tessa. one of the sisters taking care of her little niece fulltime. that escalates and the who family dynamics change. twenty years later we see how the family still keeps together in one way or another. one sister has no longer contact with the family due to what happened 20 year ago. was grandmother tessa the angel leo tries to picture. little niece maggie has grown up and is taking a break from life in new york city. she meets a nice man who she takes to the annualy family get together in ireland. the diaries of tessa are read by maggie and give her  a totally different view on what has happened in the family and why aunt sadie did what she did. is this family so perfect as it seems.

very good book. read book by the same writter before and also enjoyed those. started to read like a maniac and then with the last couple of chapters i got a bit fed up. lots happening in the end. but i kept on going. a bit of a strange end between maggie and her lover.
