The Child's Child by Barbara Vine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Received this complimentary from Goodreads.
This is an intriguing novel, (more like a novel within a novel), of the relationship between brother and sisters. The one story from the world war one era, the other from modern day deal with social taboo's that while more tolerated or even accepted today, were reason for disgrace and sometimes even criminal in the past. This tells about how each of the two generations dealt with the results of these taboos and the results were not always positive.
The Child's Child has a great story to tell, filled with mystery, suspense. and some acts of violence and sexual behaviors. I had a hard time putting the book down its a compelling read. Only a great writer could have pulled this off so well.
