The Whole Family: a Novel by Twelve Authors, Version 2

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4 Sterne; 1 Bewertungen)

An unusual concept,with each of the twelve chapters written by a different author. The original idea was to see how a single engagement and marriage affects the whole family, but as each author took on a chapter and, possibly, based it on their own family, it showed contention, conflict and, ultimately, a very dysfunctional family.
