Unfortunately, THE FAVORITE DAUGHTER was a miss, for me there where too many dislikes. 1. The relationship between sisters was very predictable. 2. The story had to many repeatitive details. 3. There was too many sterotypes in her scene descriptions and complexities of family. 4. The dialogue just felt forced. Obviously the novel is about the importance of memory and here is where the author did a good job, and the only reason I finished the book
