I thought this was interesting - liked the family history aspect of it. Liked it enough to order another swap book by the same author, and that's usually the "taste test" for me . . . give it a try! ( ) I don't think I'm going to finish this book. First of all, it started off slowly, too slowly. It picked up somewhere after the first couple of chapters, but just as the action picked up, the pacing slowed down and I kept getting bogged down in the reading. The novel seems to be trying for multi-dimensional characters, and in doing so, heaps piles of issues on them: depression, kleptomania, emotional and physical abuse, adultery, self-esteem. But for all these "issues" none of the characters feel particularly sympathetic or well-drawn. The love affair between Keeven and Zoe seems too over the top. The dialogue during some of the love scenes is painfully goopy. However, the saving grace of this book is the neighborhood. I really enjoyed the descriptions of Brooklyn life and the way the neighborhood comes to life. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
