I found the language to be too stiff and formal to be believable for modern characters and modern fiction. Also, the use of certain terms and phrases I'd consider more British English than American English distracted me - especially since the story is supposed to be set in New England. If I didn't have friends from the UK, I'd have gotten lost at some points.

Probably a very good book, but I just couldn't get into the story enough to finish it.

I got this for a book club I joined. I didn't expect to like it, but I ended up not being able to put it down. Real, lovely and painful at times.
