This book is hard work, especially if you can't sit down and read it cover to cover. There are many places where the author appears to be developing a side plot, which never really develops, and she leaves you wondering about some of the characters. But what is really disconcerting is the constant flashing between time periods, sometimes in just a few pages. It left me feeling rather schizophrenic.
The story itself is interesting, but getting it takes more effort than I really wanted to give.
