Title: long, depressing, ultimately disappointing
Review: I was almost heartened by the many bad reader reviews I saw on this webpage, if only because it confirmed that I did not miss something in the story. And you will probably not be missing much either if you pass on this book. I ploughed my way through 700 pages figuring I would be rewarded with some sort of redemption for the characters at the end. Instead, it meandered off much as it had throughout the length of the novel. If you are up for a long read with complex characters and interwoven stories, I would suggest Kate Atkinson instead. Her characters are often equally flawed, but the humor and drama makes for a rewarding read.
