SuzeReviews: Apples Never Fall
All families have a set of stories, core memories that define their complicated attachments and grudges. For the Delaney family, a tennis-obsessed set of six living in Sydney, these stories are sequentially picked up and examined like little gems, each member turning it over to examine a new facet missed by the last. Misconceptions and long-nursed hurts color each individual’s memory. It’s a repetitive process to read, running the danger of getting dull, but Moriarty succeeds in making each remembrance revelatory.
