I'd saved this to read as I've read a few of hers and loved them.
This wasn't as riveting, it felt quite chatty and light in prose. The story is good, I appreciated the focus on each character, but there were so many!
The last few chapters were a sensible way to tie it all up.
Interesting author's note, her wish to avoid criticism about the truth behind it... surely fiction doesn't need that pre empt.
