Walls develops an interesting character in Sallie Kincaid, but there was so much going on in this novel I'm not sure what it was really about. The family secrets and history, revolving door of women through the 'big house', and changing loyalties were sometimes too much to keep up with. At the same time, this read very slowly for me. It wasn't bad, but if this was my first read by the author, I don't know if I would pick up the rest.
