Picked this up after really enjoying Middlesex, and while it's not as polished or quite as fascinating as that, it's still an excellent read. The premise - that all five young daughters of a family would, within the space of months, kill themselves, is an intriguing one, and the writing is good, though it has a slightly odd narrative tone, being both intimate and detached at the same time. Nonetheless I thought it was very good.
