1975: The Seven Book Five by Sarah M. CraditMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In this tale of the events that affected the Deschanel siblings in 1975, they are starting to have families and make very long lasting decisions about their futures. Charles is now a father and has a whole new priority that overrides his reckless behaviour of the past, Augustus has a dissolving marriage at the same time that he discovers he is to become a father, Colleen is in love in Scotland, Evangeline is in New England using education soothe her soul, Maureen is now a mother which has become her true purpose and Elizabeth finds penance for the past by helping Augustus. How will the family navigate through all the secrets, lies and fates that they cannot escape no matter their wealth and power?
There was a lot of emotional torture in this book for the siblings and very little pleasure. A lot of the time this seems to be a reward for past actions and only on rare occasions was it undeserved. It was interesting to see how they reacted to their own scenarios and the effects of their behaviour on the others. I felt desperately sorry for Augustus, Evangeline and Maureen and their situations but not so sad for both Charles and Colleen. Well written and enjoyable to read. This book is a must for anyone who has read the House of Crimson and Clover series of books.
