I only picked up this book because our book club elected it as our summer reading book (due to its length)but boy, was it worth it. There are times when you do think certain characters have 'lived' too long but otherwise it is a very compelling story. I got invested in the characters and what happened to each of them...it did take a good 75-100 pages to really see the interconnectedness of all of them but once it hits you, then you really get going. The architectural information is fascinating too, especially if you love architecture or just looking at historical buildings! I highly recommend this book!
