This book starts so well.

Ginny's voice as narrator is interesting. She has an intriguing childhood.

And...

There appears to be a mystery here.

But...

What we may have hoped for as readers doesn't last.

Ginny is not a very likable character.

And...

The mystery doesn't seem to move along to help readers believe that it is going to be eventually resolved.

What's frustrating is that it felt like this story had potential.

Great start, great setting, interesting time in history.

But...

No pick up and go flow.

It's readable, but not much more.

And, I truly wanted to like this story.

In the end, I was left frustrated and aggravated, and that is not what you want to do with a reader.

Especially leaving one hanging at the end.

Sorry.

Still...

I would recommend you reading the book just because it might be a great discussion book.

Huh?

Well, sometimes the worst reads, are the best discussions!

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.
