I found this to be really fascinating most of the time! I loved the intimate look into many of the characters' lives, and how we got to know so much about even some of the side characters. I did struggle a bit with the pacing, it felt a little uneven to me. The beginning of the book definitely delved into the minutia more than the rest of the book, and that was a bit sad. I think that as more generations (and therefore more people) were introduced, it just got too hard to maintain a similar level? That was unfortunate. It also felt like the end was quite abrupt. I suppose we were just dropped into the story, and then yanked out in a similar way.
