Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield

2.0

By the time I reached 75% I was so exasperated, I just didn't care anymore. I was so happy to reach the end of this book. This story contains 10 stories within a story. Too many characters with a lot of descriptive back stories for each and every character. If half of the characters had been left out, I would have enjoyed it so much more. You see the long and winding river on the front cover? Well, that is exactly this story, but way too long, and it winds in a hundred different stories.
