This was a rather unusual book, chosen by one of the women in our book club. It took me longer than I thought it would to finish it, distracted with life happening around me, but an indication that I wasn't totally absorbed with it either. I had a little trouble with the sequence of events. There were two interlocking stories going on, in different time points, and it was not always - I should say never - clear when events were playing out and who the people in the book were. I wasn't even sure at what point in time things were happening. The characters were complex, some likable, some not. It's a complicated and mysterious plot that unfolds in spurts and jerks. The ending was somewhat unsatisfying, as I was left wondering the fate of one of the characters.

I did enjoy the book and the plot line was different and unusual. I would recommend it, but caution the reader to have patience and pay attention so you don't get confused like I did.
