First of all - the prologue set up the story so well.  You were routing for Mam to come back the whole time.  You are just waiting for Etty to learn to forgive for that moment the entire book.
In general the story was slow, but the prologue kept pushing me to finish it.  I never expected the last 5 chapters or so to be what they were.  Pack some tissues for this read..  These sisters will take you on one emotional ride.
