I am trying to stay away from books that are depressing, but this book was solidly written and kept me engaged. There was no big reveal that was alluded to on the book jacket, and I agree this isn't a book for everyone. The Little Bee character was carefully constructed and her history and plot arc were consistent with her character. The Sarah and Andrew characters, not so much. Their story, from their romance to the ill-fated vacation to Andrew's death, seem like a square peg Cleave is trying to mesh with the Little Bee round hole. Will read more by this author.
