It was.......just ok. I love the Memory Keeper's Daughter, but felt that this one was not nearly as interesting.
I read an ARC and the whole time kept thinking how nice it would be to have a family tree. After turning the last few pages, I see that a family tree is to come in the official release. Thank goodness!
I prefered this over my previous Kim Edwards' read ([b:The Memory Keeper's Daughter|10441|The Memory Keeper's Daughter|Kim Edwards|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266450174s/10441.jpg|2868431]). Though I did skip over a lot of (what I feel to be) excessive dream "footage" and description.
Bottom line: a good book, but not great.

Although it felt like it too me forever to read, I was able to sit yesterday and finish the last 120 pages. I found myself really moved by this book as I read the last 25 pages. The entire book was historically interesting as it put a personal touch on the women's suffrage movement, pointing out many things we take for granted today.
This is a beautifully written book that discusses many current and historically relevant issues. The issues are brought up through a family history discovery. A great read!

Such a great book. I couldn't put it down. I really appreciated how unpredictable it was.
Absolutely loved this book. Beautiful story about our family history and how it can affect us. I loved the characters, I loved the way the story came full circle.
The writing was beautiful and the story was interesting but a little too tidy
2 1/2 - 3 stars. Not as good as Memory Keeper's Daughter.
I've marked the book "read," but that's not accurate since this book was so boring that I just stopped reading it a few chapters in - which is something I never do.
I tried to get into this book, but something was just so off about it. The main character is neither sympathetic nor likable nor so weird or awful that you have to love her. The plot is convoluted and the mystery failed to draw me in. It just didn't work, and reading it was an unenjoyable experience.
