2.5 stars, really. The narrator drones on through most of the book. The two stories about the history of the family as well as the ending of the book were the best parts. But I don't know that it was worth climbing through the rest to get there.

so good. the pacing is uneven and the plot twists are more like gently sloping curves but still so, so good.
