Well, that's what Lily says - Kiki is he...Les,<br /><br />Well, that's what Lily says - Kiki is her sister and her mother and aunt are completely useless at caring for her so Lily is as much surrogate mother as big sis. But, the farther you get into the book, the more you're led to believe that Nick is Kiki's father. I won't tell you how that turned out but I will say dangling her parentage wasn't even necessary, IMHO, because the romance and the question of why it ended are so compelling that there's no need to add another mystery to keep the pages turning.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-36960907621714384752014-04-02T19:44:12.687-05:002014-04-02T19:44:12.687-05:00I've heard good things about this novel and ac...I've heard good things about this novel and actually started it a month or so ago, but had to return it before I got very far. I'll give it another try. Thanks for the clarification about Lily and Kiki's relationship. Somehow I missed that detail. I kept thinking maybe Kiki was Lily's child born out of wedlock...Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-91854767611793207482014-03-28T14:16:48.828-05:002014-03-28T14:16:48.828-05:00I know how that goes.

It just happened to be a time that I needed a mental break and when I pick the book up, again, I love it. Hope that's the case for you with A Hundred Summers.

She does have a style that pulls you in and I loved the way she held back just enough to keep the pages flying.

There is just something about her writing style that draws me in! I am super excited for her new book later this year, despite that fact that I haven't read this one yet, although I do currently have it out of the library.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.com
