"Aren't all families screwed up somewhere, when it comes down to it?" That's what Paul Harper, the oldest in a family of 6 children asks in
Family Album. And that's what the book shows. What appears to be a traditional, if large, family turns out to be troubled by a distant father, a mother unusually devoted to motherhood, an
au pair who remains long after the children have grown up and left home, and a secret that everyone knows but is reluctant to acknowledge.
My rating: **** out of 5
