Helpful Score: 1
This book read like a Victorian soap opera. The experience of reading the book was kind of like the steep incline on a roller coaster. It took forever to get to the top- creeping along at a crawl, only to send you crashing down right at the very end.
I didn't like most of the town. Their vicious gossiping and holier-than-thou attitudes got very tiresome. There were quite a lot of characters to keep track of. I did like the main characters of Beatrice, Hugh, and Daniel. Their friendships were the only thing that kept me reading.
I thought the ending of the book was quite rushed and left several things unanswered. While I understand that the book was depicting a war environment towards the end, I feel that the author added in some unnecessary events that destroyed my opinion of the overall story.
