Helpful Score: 4

I just could not get into the book. I did not find the characters likable or even generating empathy. I kept waiting for the book to come together, but it just spent so long building the back stories of the individual women. The chapters moved back and forth between the stories of the individual women. They also moved across time and place telling each character's version of family history. It just did not keep me interested unfortunately. I wish the book had started with them in Maine and then perhaps woven in the back story. It took too long to get there, and by that point, I did not really care.
