This is an ambitious family saga about white privilege, anti-Semitism and racial inequality set over three generations. Unfortunately it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The first part was very confusing until I got the hang of it, wondering what year was being portrayed. Labeling the chapters with years would have been helpful. I love novels that are descriptive but there was too much repetition in the description of the Island. It was a good story that could have been told in a lot less pages. By page 350 I was ready for the story to end. Ms Blake's The Postmistress, on the other hand was a wonderful read for me.
