This was one of our book selections last year and as I started the book I thought this will be a good read, and given the number of pages I thought it wouldn't take me very long to read. However, only a chapter into the novel I was already struggling to continue. I felt too much time was taken to convey thoughts, background, etc. Sometimes it just seemed I kept reading and would lose sight of the story being conveyed to the reader. Only myself and one other person finished this book in our club and we both struggled to do so.

She is an excellent writer, her books are always thought provoking and informative. But of the books I have read most of the endings have been terrible, hurried and rushed.

Well written - different perspective. Tearful, at times, but also full of humor and insight.
