Let me preface this by saying that I really love all of the China Bayles books; however, this one was so boring that I stopped reading about 100 pages in. I don't know if it was the shifting narrative or the subject matter but I just could not read it. I sincerely hope the next book is better and back with the who Pecan Springs gang!

I disliked the alternating point of view, switching back and forth from present time to a point in history in the 1800s. I did not feel that it added anything to the book; if anything, it detracted. I prefer Albert's "normal" writing style.

I really enjoyed this China Bayles--it's out of the ordinary because it does not take place in Pecan Springs. Great read!
