I initially struggled to get into this book but I found I couldn't put it down by the second half. My favorite part of the story was the characters and how they had a lot of depth to them despite seeing them in such a limited way. They were flawed, they didn't always make the right choice but you could always see why they made the choices they did. They thought they were doing the right thing with the circumstances they were dealt. The story is sad, it's one of loss and struggling to find a place to belong but the characters persist and create new lives for themselves. I enjoyed seeing the story progress through the three generations of the family.  It added a lot of depth to the characters getting to see where they came from and how they were raised. 
I'm glad I stuck through with this book, I definitely found it a worthwhile read.
