This book was very well written in straightforward prose. In fact, I read it all in one night. It's difficult to say whether I truly liked it or not though. As I said it was really easy to read and flowed nicely but the subject matter is not really my cup of tea and that may be the reason I'm wishy washy on this. Still, what I did like about the book was the author can really draw the reader into the mind of the narrator. We are truly seeing things as she sees them. The author does this so well that as the reader we only see the others' flaws and not the narrator's. This of course changes later as we begin to notice the narrator is far from perfect and has serious issues of her own.

Who is the ghost?
Two sisters grow up in the same household with the same parents and you would think they would have similiar memories. Well they don't and the older I become the more I find this to be true. Both sisters had different perspectives on their mother's illness and their father's reaction to it. These memories come to a head when the older sister and the younger get together for Thanksgiving. The estranged father is included as are two teenage daughters, a friend and some work collegues of the older sister's husband. What ensues is far from the perfect Home for the Holidays idea of Thansgiving. Good story with some twists just to keep things interesting.
