I thought this was very well written but I did not care for the characters at all and the time and place for not interest me very much.

For a depressing book about miserable people without a particularly hopeful ending, this book somehow did not make me miserable. It's a very good book that I wouldn't really recommend to many people, because no one's going to be happy when they finish. Moved, yes. Satisfied? - somewhat. Hopeful for the future for any of these characters? Not at all.

I wanted to like this more than I did. I think my main problem with the story is I often had no idea what was going on. After finishing it, I'm still confused on a lot of the plot points and I think it has mostly to do with the way the author decided to style the writing. I don't really love novels without punctuation, I'm not opposed to them, and I can certainly grasp dialogue when I read it, but......I don't know, I just found myself too often confused, having to re-read to make sure I knew what was happening and it took me out of the story too much. I still enjoyed the overall novel about the family, but I think the novel had the potential to be so much better.
