3.0
I liked the book but found that it was just too much death for me. A miscarriage, a freak accident, suicide, the death of a baby, casualties as result of the war. Some of the deaths seemed understandable due to the circumstance of part of the book taking place during WW2. However other deaths just seemed unnecessary in my opinion. Other than that I did enjoy reading it, it is a slow read but I found that as it jumped around from different people's perspectives, I didn't get lost or uninterested.
