Liars and Saints - Maile Meloy


My desire to do this blog post seems to match the feeling I had while I was reading this book.  Ugh...just don't want to do it.  However, in the interest of completeness, here goes.  This is a multi-generational family saga, which in theory sounds fine.  I've read and enjoyed many a book of this ilk.  Mercy Among the Children comes to mind.  My problem with this book seems to have been the religious undertones.  They took me right out of the story.  I didn't find a lot of joy in any of the characters and the incest thing was just plain creepy.  All in all, glad it was a short book and I have it behind me.

1 out of 5 stars.
