Title: Absolute rubbish!
Review: What a horrible book! I love to read but getting through this book was nothing short of tedious. I kept waiting for it to get better . . . it never did. First of all, the structure of the chapters made the story move painfully slow. The book constantly back tracked to years past. It made it difficult to muster up any emotion for what was happening to the family because the emotion kept getting lost for me by the story lines changing. Secondly, I never "took to" any of the characters. In most books there is one character or another who readers can relate to or take a liking to. That never happened with this novel. And lastly, the sentence structure was poor which also made it difficult to read. Sorry, Ms. Oates. Better luck next time.
