The writing was very good and the characters were believable. Sadly, several of them were not likable. This is a distraction to me. If you like characters who have obvious human foibles do not let my rating deter you. The characters were too believable in their flaws- it was not enough of an escape from reality for me. And, I like happy endings, while this book had an outcome that was a realistic mix of outcomes.

To me, the story had a low level of depression: economic depression, emotional depression. Maybe if I'd been in a different mood or read it sometime other than the dark of the year it would have made a different impression.

There were clever turns of phrase in the book, and the writing was intelligent and top notch.
