Book Riot's 100 Must-Read Generational and Family Novels - Page 3

Whether famous or fictional, reading about quirky/weird/mysterious kith and kin gives readers the ultimate voyeuristic peek into the secret anatomy of a family. When an author has the opportunity in a novel or a book to paint a cast of characters over a long period of time, they're able to plant family mysteries; unveil flaws that are passed down from ancestors to descendants; and slowly unravel secrets held tight for generations. These things, either combined or on their own, create great plot twists and reveal to us truths about our own dysfunctional families that we are too ashamed to admit.
