This book is one of THE WORST BOOKS I have ever read! It took some time to get into McDermott's writing style as it was different from most books as well as others I have read by her. I initially credited my dislike of the book to this, however as I continued reading and got used to this style, I kept asking myself "where is the plot?". It was also very difficult to really get to know the characters and there were many points in the story when I had no idea who's point of view was being expressed. Of course, I have a rule to always finish reading a book once I start...so I kept reading and reading thinking it would get better, until finally I reached the end...and what a complete let down!!! I am truly disappointed with this story & it was not at all what I was expecting.
