the things we know now is a heartbreaking read. The story of family relationships and the tragic consequences of bullying. I couldn't put this down even though there are segments that I found really difficult to read.
I hadn't read any of Catherine Dunne's books before this one, but I will be searching my local libraries for more of her work.

The intricacies of family relationships are familiar, the love, the patience, the animosity, the blame, the guilt, the sibling rivalries .... all aspects of family life are contained in this one book. There is no happy ending, and I hope I'm not telling you anything that you wouldn't be able to work out for yourself as a reader right from the start. But there is hope and I think that is something that is familiar to us all in life.
