Really disliked this book, a rambling narrative with parts of the story wandering away into abstract memories and rarely, if ever, making it back to the main point.
The characters are bland and unlikeable, especially the main character. It was the sort of book, that I read in an afternoon as I was so uninterested in the family and frankly when the 'tragedy' occurred I couldn't really care less, other books have had me in tears for far less.
