Last House by Jessica Shattuck. Thanks to @williammorrow for the gifted Arc ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A sweeping story of the Taylor family starting in 1953 with Nick’s oil career and stretching nearly eighty years.

I love family sagas like this where you get to know each generation very well. My interest was a bit disjointed. I found Nick’s parts with him overseas a bit boring and had a hard time sticking with it. A parts in the US though, were interesting to me, especially the history of the 1960’s and how it affected the family.

“Life is full of minor characters we slough off. In memory, they step forward - bigger sometimes than the people we thought were essential to us.”

Last House comes out 5/14.
