Laddar... The Imperfectsav Amy Meyerson
   Interpersonal Novels (83) Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.   ) asendor | Feb 15, 2024 |   ) schoenbc70 | Sep 2, 2023 | Having loved Amy's debut novel, The Bookshop of Yesterdays, I was excited to learn of her next one. The matriarch of the family passes and a granddaughter inherits what appears to be a costume jewelry brooch. With meticulous research Amy tells a story of a family that uncovers unknown mysteries and with each piece, momentum builds. While the characters aren't unique, the story and plot twists make up for it. Then like a magician, she distracts the reader in order to avoid what might seem predictable. The mark of a good writer is creative weaving of plot elements with relatable characters and story. Worthwhile in all respects, I'm eager to read Amy's next book (  ) Jonathan5 | Feb 20, 2023 | ) Dianekeenoy | Nov 18, 2022 | ) DrApple | Jun 30, 2021 |
 The author portrays complex relationships with insight and finesse, if also with a degree of excessive detail. Although the novel has the unfortunate quality of shifting points of view too quickly, often making it feel disjointed, the questions with which the main characters grapple are sufficiently engrossing that readers will remain engaged. Replete with details about gemstones and the mechanisms for determining a diamond’s quality and provenence, the novel showcases how greed and selfishness can cause fissures in relationships that reverberate for generations. A solidly entertaining multigenerational saga about sacrifice, self-reliance, and what it means to be family. Uppmärksammade listor
"The Millers are far from perfect. Estranged siblings Beck, Ashley and Jake find themselves under one roof for the first time in years, forced to confront old resentments and betrayals, when their mysterious, eccentric matriarch, Helen, passes away. But their lives are about to change when they find a secret inheritance hidden among her possessions--the Florentine Diamond, a 137-carat yellow gemstone that went missing from the Austrian Empire a century ago. Desperate to learn how one of the world's most elusive diamonds ended up in Helen's bedroom, they begin investigating her past only to realize how little they know about their brave, resilient grandmother. As the Millers race to determine whether they are the rightful heirs to the diamond and the fortune it promises, they uncover a past more tragic and powerful than they ever could have imagined, forever changing their connection to their heritage and each other. Inspired by the true story of the real, still-missing Florentine Diamond, The Imperfects illuminates the sacrifices we make for family and how sometimes discovering the truth of the past is the only way to better the future."--Amazon.
