Helpful Score: 1

This is an engaging story, told in very very slow motion. Reviewers who said they couldn't remain interested were probably put off by the writer's tendency to compile descriptive lists of anything and everything (names she finds interesting, what people are wearing, reading, eating or drinking, how a room looks)...The writing isn't terrible but it's slow and languid. What kept me interested was the relationships between the mothers and daughters. If you enjoy art and photography and a sense of mystery, you'll probably find it a worthwhile read.

FYI I listened to the audio book and found the reader a bit dramatic. You might like that...I give her a C for trying too hard.
