"It takes a long time to build a life but only an instant for it to crumble."
Imagine that your 18 year old daughter has been accused of murdering a much older and successful business man? What would you do as a parent to protect her? This is what you will be asking yourself as you read A Nearly Normal Family.
"Until so recently, we were a perfectly ordinary family. Now we are prisoners under a merciless spotlight."
Adam, a well respected pastor, and his wife, Ulrika, a successful defense attorney have been put to the ultimate test when they are notified that their at-times unruly daughter, Stella, has been detained on suspicion of murder. Is it possible that their daughter could be so violent as to murder someone? You'll have to read this to find out.
I found this book to be a very satisfying reading experience. The story is told in three parts; that of Adam, Stella, and Ulrika and each adds a different perspective to the situation which I really enjoyed. With each character I waffled between liking them and disliking them but that's what made them seem so human. The epilogue wrapped everything up nicely even if I was correct in my suspicions of what actually happened. M.T. Edvardsson is a talented author that I will plan to keep my eye on.
I need to shout out a big THANK YOU to my girl, Felicia, who was so generous as to send me her copy of this book. *Mwah*
