I tried so many times to love this book, but had to quit, not even halfway in! It was a book club book and several people loved it, but at least one other agreed with me that the book was too slow moving, with too many characters. I kept falling asleep!! We have an unspoken rule that if a book doesn’t grab you, when you reach the page number that is your age - stop reading! We are seniors and went to twice my age…I really tried!!
