Captivating. The only fault I found was that the long episodes of misanthropy, torture, chaos, misery seems difficult to believe in the survival. Too much seemed contrived, though I know it was based on true stories.

Trite. Boring and repetitive. just uninteresting. Commentary of a society that is boorish and poorly executed.
Totally disappointing. Could barely get through the first two chapters.

It was hard to keep up with all the plots, the various characters, at the machinations of mysteries. It was too contrived to hold together very well.

Fascinating puzzle, which was solved and kept me on the edge; but a bit too contrived

My least favorite Austin story. It is so laden with manners that it is a bit of a drug. Her first and worst.

I love generational novels, and this one brought me to new lands, new cultures in their influence on the characters. I think the story itself was too long and much that was discussed was not necessary

See above. Moral: secrets can destroy. Be careful trying to control others and happily ever after is not a bad way to end a Christmas story.

Too abstract and fantastical for my liking. Perhaps different character characters done by different people would have helped.

Sequencing was more jarring than intriguing. Some of it seem too contrived. Despite some character complexity, I found there was too much caricature.
