Very difficult to read and get into. This book spans over many decades and looks at the lives of many different characters but the stories are not in chronological order and it is very difficult to try to remember all the characters' names to know who the chapter is about. The book was very confusing and while some of the story lines were interesting and would have made for a much better book had it focused on just those better story lines, other ones were lacking and a bit unnecessary in my opinion and could have been omitted for a smoother, more fluent read.
