I didn't understand this book, you could say I just didn't "get" it. I was expecting it to be about Mary Swann who was a poet and murdered but instead it gave a lot of insight into other key characters that liked her poetry and were trying to solve her murder? I think that's what the point was? The characters were very interesting and well formed and a lot of small details were given about their lives individually.

I have read another book by Carol Shields "Small Ceremonies" which I completely enjoyed and really got into the plot on that one.

This one, I didn't like.
