I read this book for bookclub, and it was one that I procrastinated on because I just didn't want to pick it up and read it (I finished it 10 minutes before the meeting). I never really connected with the main character and had a hard time really understanding her choices, especially in the round-about way that the story was told, with a lot of vague references. That may have been part of the author's intent, but didn't draw me to the book. This is also a story with a lot of darkness--historically accurate but hard to read.
