Moving begins with elderly Edwina deciding to sell her large family house. As she shows it to the real estate agent and then begins packing memories resurface and it is clear there are some family secrets waiting to be revealed. I loved Edwina and the structure of her section. But then we abruptly switched narrators and it was like reading a totally different book. Eventually - after yet another narrative switch, which was less jarring - the story came together. It was a perfectly fine read but I was never as interested or engaged as I was with the first section of the book.
