“I didn't really "finish" it, I mostly gave up on it. I couldnt get into it, maybe I'll try again some other time.”

• Rated 3 stars

“Complicated characters, complicated structure--but some beautiful writing. The characters seemed very real in their complexity, and situations that resolved or didn't resolve also seemed much like real life.”

• Rated 3 stars

“A fine read -- not superb but almost satisfying. I would recommend it to a woman. It is an introspective story. I cared about the characters, and I wanted to hear their story and understand them.”

• Rated 5 stars

“Characters have stayed with me -- very well told stories of different people in one family.”

• Rated 3 stars

“3.5 stars perhaps. Long, long, long. A frustrating book in that it had promise dashed by too many flaws. Description of this as a tryptich is true - the first and third parts are weak and look towards the middle part - author should have scrapped the other parts as they were trifles. Only thing I got out of the 3rd part was a different perspective on Fenno - he didn't seem such a closed, self-involved character through the eyes of others as through his own eyes in the middle part, which was quite interesting. I agree with the critics that it wasn't worthy of a prize (it won the National Book Award) even though it had its good moments.”

“I actually listened to - didn't read - this on CD and loved it. The reader had a real Scottish brogue (or whatever it's called in Scotland), adding to the authenticity and charm of the book. Wonderful character studies, well-woven plot, with all loose ends smoothly and unobtrusively woven in by the end. ”
