The Brighton, developers of Kaleidoscope, a shopping empire specializing in luxury goods from around the world, have two daughters. Morgan, tall and a brilliant designer, is the family pet. Reilly has no real interest in the family business, but she and Morgan are very close. When tragedy strikes the family, Reilly is devastated. She feels adrift mourning her sister and trying to figure out who she is.
Reilly takes off around the world to try to solve the mystery of her family and her own identity. The book is filled with amusing incidents, but the over arching feeling is grief and coming to terms with a family tragedy.
The book is beautifully written. It’s not an easy read and will challenge you to understand the complex relationships. The book is told in both first person and third person. At first, I found it confusing, but the further I read, the more I felt the choices were appropriate for the characters at the point in the story.
Reilly was an interesting character. The closeness of the sisters was beautifully portrayed. Reilly growing and coming to terms with not only the family tragedy, but who she is was a rewarding read. I recommend the book if you enjoy character driven stories.
I received this book from Dutton for this review.
