Fall on your knees - Ann Marie MacDonald

I didnt intend to read this book earlier.
I was reading a different book which already past 5 pages of introductory when the trip to GC forced me to look at a lighter (in volume) book (well 508 is much lighter and thinner than 1075 pages). So I abandoned my current book and packed this one into my suitcase.
The word sisters in the review must have been the 'sold' factor on why I bought the book in the first place. And indeed the book was not short of wow factors. Many times (in life) there are fine lines between fiction and facts, between make believe and events that actually happened and how human memories especially of a child chose to remember it (this book emphasized that). Did it happen or was it a dream? There were 'anticipated' secrets everywhere and each was darker then the one before which was revealed one by one and sometime when you least expected it. And I must say that the last revelation, really blew me away. It's a sisterhood and family epic that cut across several generations. It's no wonder that FYOK won a Commonwealth prize for Best First Book for its author. Not only after I finished reading it that I knew the book was also featured in Oprah's Book Club. Indeed, it was a satisfying read.
