Didn't like this book. Agree characters are bleak, and just didn't care. Didn't abandon though wanted to, but sped-read through to the end. It didn't get better. She wrote the phrase: "like a dog returning to its own vomit". Vulgar.
So wordy, so dry, so slow, just a bore of a book. Native characters are very poorly drawn, shallow use of them.
Positive aspect was the orchard setting and overall use of the era and area, that was interesting. But overall, skip it, unless you want to be depressed for hundreds of pages. I'm sorry I spent time with this one.
