4.0

This book was very moving. The beginning was magical. I was captivated.

However, it did start to sag about two-thirds of the way in. There were a lot of different narrative strands introduced, the pace slowed down, and a handful of the storylines weren't satisfactorily wrapped up to warrant the amount of time spent on them.

Still, a powerful story about family, love, and regret.
