A Modern Family | Helga Flatland

2 posts | 4 read | 3 to read

When Liv, Ellen, and Håkon, along with their partners and children, arrive in Rome to celebrate their father’s 70th birthday, a quiet earthquake occurs: their parents have decided to divorce. Shocked and disbelieving, the siblings try to come to terms with their parents’ decision as it echoes through the homes they have built for themselves, and forces them to reconstruct the shared narrative of their childhood and family history. A bittersweet novel of regret, relationships, and rare psychological insights, A Modern Family encourages us to look at the people closest to us a little more carefully, and ultimately reveals that it’s never too late for change.

A Modern Family | Helga Flatland

I'm currently reading A Modern Family by Helga Flatland and am very much enjoying it. It's a family drama with each chapter coming from a different sibling's perspective and it's so true to life. #amreading
