bookedbymadeline's review
After trying to read this the last few days, I'm calling it quits.
The chronology is a mess. I'd be reading in the present, then all of a sudden it flashed back to the past without any indication.
It also skipped whole decades so from the first chapter to the second we have no explanations about what happened at the beginning and we're now 3o/40/so years later? It's also just too slow and overly descriptive for my taste; I do not enjoy novels that go into every single minuscule detail when there's no purpose for it so this isn't my cup of tea.
