challenging emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

This was sooooo slow to start. I found myself leaving it and picking up other things to read instead but it was a bookclub pick so I did end up finishing it and it picks up after the second half. I do now see how the author could have done that intentionally and how that all relates back to the mental state of the characters but my god that was a slog initially.
