I agree with reviewer, Suzanne, regarding the ending. It was so abrupt, and it made me incredibly angry. [edited to remove plot spoiler].

This book was very slowwwww. What bothered me even more was that there were too many loose ends....nothing ever came full circle. The family has a lot of good story lines that could have been further developed. Instead, new people were introduced and we never got to "know" …more them. I was not impressed at all. (less)
