A Kind of Thief

This was not a very good book, nor a very bad one. I think I could have put it down at any point and never wondered what happened to the characters, which was good since the author never explained it satisfactorily anyway. The story is about a family: the father is accused of embezzling and the children are split up between their relatives while he is in jail. Eventually they end up back together living above a restaurant that their step-mother's uncle owns. That's really all there is to say about it, I think. As I said, it's not bad but it's not very memorable either.
