Felt interested afternoon had touched it out for a while. The initial trauma takes place right away and I felt adrift until the three main characters were connected. Once it picked up it was easy to be involved in the story of these three intersecting women, but it took a while to get there and the ending felt abrupt.  At least the time period felt interesting and engaging.
