I loved the story but did not like the way it was written–I hate it whe a book jumps back in time the back to the story–was a bit disapointed

I loved it also and I love books that go back and forth in time. It’s not for everyone though.

I have to re-read it because there is so much going on in that novel I probably missed getting caught up in the emotional ride.

I enjoyed this book. I think that the reason some readers were critical of this book, is because of the setting. It takes awhile to get into the backward environment and the poverty of the character. It seems shallow when in reality, this is a deep novel.
