I liked this story, but it could've been a couple hundred pages shorter. I was more interested in the past storyline; Aaron in the present annoyed me continuously and I kept skimming over his parts. Helen was an interesting character but I felt like we really didn't explore her storyline except for one part of her life (her love affair with Dror). We spent the most time with Ester and I did find her story fascinating.
