I finished this book because I wanted
to know how it ended and what led up to the tragedies that occur in the lives
of the characters. I tried to read ahead
and not sit through the whole thing, but that was unsuccessful, too much detail
would have been left out and I still would have had unanswered questions.
There are still a lot of pieces
missing but without giving a lot of the plot away, I will not include that
information in this write up.
In short, two sisters grow up being
photographed (in the nude) by a family friend named Ruth. The girls’ mother died when they were very
young and they are being raised by David, their permissive father. Eventually, of course, the girls mature and
questions arise as to whether the photographs are pornographic or pure art.
The story is told alternatively by the
two sisters. Part of the story is in the present and part of the story is set
in the past. Some questions of choice
and free will are posed in the story but a lot of the book is tedious going. After
all is said and done I would not recommend this book.
