Complicated
Didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as others from Kate Morton.
Overall, despite the gorgeous writing as always, it just didn't click for me - too many characters, the historical fiction elements weren't as compelling as normal, and the ending felt anticlimactic. I even felt bored during the middle sections, which felt like they dragged. Will still continue working through her back catalogue as not every book will be a winner.
