The O'Briens by Peter Behrens ✔✔✔✔

I was happy to find this book on Kindle for two reasons. First of all, I read Behrens' first book, Law of Dreams, and really enjoyed it. Also, we were preparing to leave Florida to begin the long trip home to KL, and I wanted something to keep me going throughout the trip. It's a family saga - the family consists of Joe, his two brothers and his two sisters, who live with their mother and their abusive stepfather in the forests of Quebec around the turn of the century. The story centers around Joe, the leader of the family, his wife Iseult, and how he becomes a wealthy contractor in Montreal, covering some fifty years.

I can't say I enjoyed this one as much as Law of Dreams, but it still held my interest.
