Surprisingly good, hard to put down!This book wasn't what I expected but I still really enjoyed it. I loved the characters and the plot kept my interest. Poor Emma, one thing after another! For some reason while I read this book I had the wrong era in my head and I couldn't get it out. The story took place in the 1940s and 50s, but I couldn't help feeling like it was 100 years earlier.

'Reading was her solace, a way of drowning out the world and her unhappiness' đŸ˜¥
Sins of the Father follows a young girl Emma who throughout her life is disappointed and used by men. After being used one too many times, she comes up with a plan to change her fortunes, and for her to use men instead. The Sins of the Father is an easy enjoyable read. While Emma came across as cold I couldn't help but feel sorry for her (which I suppose is the point of the book). The dialogue at times wasn't the best, however I found the story that intriguing that I could overlook this.
I really did like this book, even though I felt like strangling Emma at times. A lot of it served her right, but how many of us wouldn't have been similarly tempted given the circumstances?
