I really struggled to get through this and kept debating putting it down. As a big fan of multi-perspective fiction, I stuck it out for the plot lines to fully intersect.

while the decision for the characters to largely stay independent was likely artful, it left me, the reader frustrated.

As a result, I felt the novel lacked plot and the characterization was too thin. I would have enjoyed a fiction of the life of just one of the characters, but the way this was presented did not justify multiple points of view to me.
