Title: Okay but slow
Product review: This book describes the guilt and pain of Amanda and how those emotions affected her entire family and even those within her community.Although the book starts well, I almost quit reading half way through it. The plot lines move slowly, and there are sudden jumps in time. You'll be reading along in one chapter, you run across a break, and the next thing you know several years have passed. However, you don't even know that for several paragraphs, so it's too easy to get distracted and confused. I also think too many sub-plots and the recollections of the characters were not always expanded upon enough, either.I did think that Amanda, Mathilda and Ruth are well developed characters, and you do feel sympathy for them all. However, I would have liked to see Ruth's father, Carl, and Imogene, Ruth's friend (and something else to the story...) more developed. Imogene especially- I felt like I didn't really know here.
