The Behaviour of Moths by Poppy Adams

A family of moth scientists live in an old mansion. The younger daughter is wilfull, the older mentally ill, the mother a violent alcoholic and the father an unaware workaholic. The family fall apart as a result of lies and murder.

The central character's narrative is a bit difficult to engage with and not very consistent so it is hard to relate to her. The story is well woven and interesting.

Overall, fairly well wirtten and enjoyable but not very memorable. Doesn't have lasting impact.
