This series seems to be growing weaker as it moves along, but it is still enjoyable. This didn't have the emotional resonance that some of the earlier books had, but its quiet plot, nicely drawn characters, and strong sense of place still make it an enjoyable read.

Plots and characters continue to modernize. The story felt limited to me by being from Johanna’s point of view- she’s watching things unfold for the island, but her own struggle—how to be a parent to grown children—is pushed aside by a somewhat sprawling plot. The pacing is a little strange (central conflict is introduced in the final third of the book), but it’s also nice to return to Joanna’s point of view, to see Owen a little more himself, and catch up with a lot of past characters.
