None of the characters was particularly likable, especially Thea and Kate. I wasn‘t terribly impressed with Isa and Fatima, either, though Fatima seemed the nicest of them all. The first half was a bit slow, and there were time shifts back to when they were younger (via Isa‘s memories), but it picked up in the second half. I felt badly for Isa‘s husband and completely sympathized with him. Cont in comments...
