It was a book series that I was so sad to come to the end of cuz like we're going through the entire life cycles of certain characters. You're seeing the kind of dynamic of the family change over the years.
The war (1983)
In the wake of World War II, the Caskey family prospers in Perdido under the guidance of new matriarch Elinor Caskey. But the family's tragic, bloody past still haunts them even in the midst of what should be their greatest triumph.
And I love the story as we get the next generation of these characters coming into their own and starting to understand the mystery and the horror that has followed the Casy family now for a good while. I can't wait to wrap this up.
