I picked up this book 'by mistake' and what a great surprise. This is an exceptionally well-written, fast-moving story of the correspondence among three sisters and their parents. The letters begin in the 1960's and continue through the 1970's. I was quickly drawn into their intriguing stories and could not put down the book until I finished...I guarantee you won't either.

this book reminded me of my other favorite "A Woman of Independent Means" . Where an enentire life is told through written letters to different family members and friends. Once you get to know the personality of each person you feel as if you are reading into a diary of each of their lives.

Great novel. One must keep up with the dates and years and remember what was occuring in history to fully understand and appreciate the intricate web of events. Many family skeletons are pulled from the closet and tossed on the family room floor, and done so is an amazingly graceful manner.

This is my favorite modern novel and I compare all others to it. White Lies is, in my opinion, flawless. This was the first of only three novels that I have ever read that moved me to write to the author--and she replied.
