At The Breakfast Table is an intricate and compelling story weaving between the modern day and the past as the story unfolds.

One of the things I loved about this book was the way it pulled me into the setting. 

I will say that it takes a little time to get into this book, as we're following a few different perspectives, and there are a lot of people to remember and sometimes, as happens for me with a lot of multiple perspective novels, I found myself less interested in some viewpoints than others.

Overall, though, I enjoyed this novel.
