I felt the purpose of this book got muddled along the way.  It was very slow-paced.  I appreciated the complexity of the relationships, but there were a lot of loose ends that didn’t tie off, in my opinion.  Maybe that was the point.  The sentimentality at the end redeemed the rest of the book for me.
