ndbeyer 's review for:

The House at Riverton by Kate Morton
3.5
sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It is definitely historical fiction, which I love, but it moves slowly and continues to dangle a carrot in front of the reader.  In my opinion- it was a bit long with places that definitely could have been shortened or omitted.
