Why read it?

I find so true this depiction of a family cruelly affected by their father’s grim past as an IRA commander, which has turned him into a strict, even cruel, disciplinarian.
I shuddered with empathy with the children and wife and rejoiced in the eventual escape of the sons he beat while still, in the end, feeling for him and his loss of their love.
I read it years ago, and it always stayed with me, so I recently recommended it to my reading group and read it again. I was no less moved.
From Elizabeth's list on fighting to overcome the legacy of their parents’ past.
