Why read it?
1 author picked Colony as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’ve read many of this author’s works and enjoyed them all, but this one really dug in, grabbed on, and held tight.
I loved the fact that it covered generations instead of a short timeframe; it gave me more insight into the people and relationships. Transplanting a Low Country girl used to a simple life to the summer home of an upper-crust New Englander accustomed to only the finer things promises conflict, which we got in spades, starting with a mother-in-law who could barely hide her hostility.

From Staci's list on dysfunctional family drama to make you feel better.
