This book just really wasn't for me. I read this for a book club and otherwise I never would have picked it up.
There's no resolution to anything and there is way too much focus on certain subjects for it to be for no reason *cough* the incest *cough*. I like character focused books but when I say this has almost zero plot, I mean it, which makes many of the conversations feel a bit random as they don't relate to much.
But I understand this author is well loved so I maybe it's just a preference thing.
