No, you'll keep on rereading. Maybe you'll get used to it as you go but I did not. I swear I never understood the setting either. So many times I had to force myself to remember it's west coast, not east. The reveal wasn't worth it for me. I kept on because it was so highly rated.

I found the writing more stilted in the beginning, but you get used to it as you go on. The story is well worth it though so I would keep reading!
Jackie
I thought the same thing at first! I was having a hard time getting into it. But, it gets SO much better. The characters are very well developed, and there are twists that (to me) are VERY unpredictable. I ended up loving it! I say continue!
Marsha
I thought the same thing. Stilted and often uses incorrect syntax. Don’t find it worth it so far. 100 pages in
Alexander
It was a hard read (even in Swedish). If I hadnt got the times on my hands, I would not bother.
Marsha
YES! lots of characters, but totally worth staying with!! So many lives and each person has a connection to the ending.
Phil
I agree that it is not always clear who is talking/ speaking. But hang in there the story is worth the few times you have to stop and determine who is speaking.

Do stick with it, it's a beautiful story, very moving. The stilted style is deliberate I think - just take it with you, it'll carry your emotions to another plane.
