4 Stars from me
Another book full of characters that you’ll love to hate! I seem to have stumbled across a few of these lately.
The family at the heart of Our Little Cruelties is dysfunctional to the max – all seemingly stemming from the mother’s infatuation with herself.
There are some great descriptive elements of the years as the story moves from the past into the present day, including the typical impact that poverty could have upon a family – the Christmas day from the 1970s in particular.
More of a family drama than a psychological thriller, however the story will keep you turning the pages and wanting to discover more.
Blurb: Three brothers are at the funeral. One lies in the coffin.
Will, Brian and Luke grow up competing for their mother’s unequal love. As men, the competition continues – for status, money, fame, women …
They each betray each other, over and over, until one of them is dead.
But which brother killed him?
