I loved the characters! There were so many. And maybe too many storylines. This book feels like it could have been a 3 part series. It is well worth reading to discover the characters you love the most. It will be an interesting discussion and my book group this afternoon. Besides the many personalities, there are whispers of the current political atmosphere. I am off to find a list of all the characters, I have forgotten several names.

Loved this book! It was my book club book for April. Never before have I read a book where the house was a character in it and I never would have though that was possible to do effectively but the author managed it beautifully. Character development was very well done and I was kept guessing the whole time!
