I listened to this on audiobook and I'd say it definitely helped me get through. The themes of family, loss, grief really came through and the blending of timelines actually worked really well. I really enjoyed the mystery element to it more than I had in The Invited perhaps because the clear different timelines really helped flush things out. Overall a great book to listen to while knitting on dark winter evenings.
