I really did love this book. It is the type of book that I prefer. I love books that go back and forth between generations, an old house full of memories, and characters that you fall in love with! My one complaint was that until about half way through the book, I was VERY confused about who was who, what time period we were in, who was related in what way...etc. Once you catch on about half way through, that gets a little easier. The whole family tree and dynamics had me confused the whole first half though. I was constantly confusing what generations Jinny, Elissa, and Henry were in. Was their dad Jack of John? BUT once you get the hang of that...you will love it! Loved the mystery. Loved the love stories, and the reality of "the grass is always greener." I hope she writes many more!!
