this was fine. it felt like there was just too much going on, and it was so convenient, every turn. it was great history and research but didn't always read like a novel, and i don't know that i feel any sort of sympathy for the characters beyond a bried "oh. that's sad" because after reading all that and getting that family history, i'm not sure i even know them.
