Other members seem to have liked this novel better than I did. I found it slow going in places and I have to say, I began skimming after a while. I think, however, it would make a very good film, with the camera to fill in visuals and actors to lend personality to some of its characters. I don't want to give the impression that it's a failure; I did finish it and I would look at other books this author does in future. However I didn't have the intense emotional reaction that it apparently provoked in other members who reviewed this book.
