Necessary Lies

I'm surprised to see how many 5 star ratings this book has, and I'm surprised at myself for giving one, as I almost never do. But, this book, oh, this book.... This book is real. It's real with struggle that many of us will ever know. It's real with insight into the minds of the characters involved. Even though the story is told from only two (1/2) characters perspectives, the other characters come alive as well, with insight into what they are experiencing and thinking and feeling.... This is incredibly well written, and the summation of the circle of all the characters is fantastic. I read this in 2 days. And it will not be my last Diane Chamberlain book.

It was amazing! I really could not put this book down. My boyfriend bought me this book because the main character suffers from Epilepsy. I have Epilepsy as well. Even though it is based in the 1960's it was a great book. I loved to see how society treated people with mental illness and neurological brain disorders in different eras. This book had many twist and turns that I didn't see coming. I would recommend this book to anyone.MoreLess

This was a very touching touching story and I did finish it , I was so applauded that certain practices like eugenics took place in the 50's and 60's in our country . Life if precious no matter how it is conceived. People sometimes in life make bad decisions especially when they are young but again that's life. This story was proof of that , but in the end there is a time when love and faith and truth will always prevail.Nawartha

This book was a great read. When I wasn't reading it, I wondered what was happening to the characters, as though some how their lives went on despite me. That, to me, is a sign of an excellent book. It's the story of a girl who desperately wants a better future future, and a woman who believes that such a thing cannot possibly be a pipe dream. The ending skips so suddenly and so far into the book as to make me wonder how it's even possible for certain characters to even be alive still.

Loved the book. The story of parallel lives; one priveledged, one dirt-poor, and the double standards society applied to both at a time when women had no rights and the poor had even less. But it's not just that. It's a story that speaks about hope, and how hope can overcome almost anything at all. The final chapter felt rushed and the timeline skewed, but it provided the necessary closure. This is going down on my excellent reads list, for sure.
