Too 'literary' for me.  Reads like a collection of connected short stories, and written almost entirely of pretty and beautiful sentences (albeit very quotable sentences).  I was confused through most of this book due the tediously frustrating lyrical writing.  It was an effort trying to follow the character arcs and the familial connections.  I did really enjoy the first third, but then I started to lose steam.  It became very tiresome to keep engaged at about the two-thirds point, when a whole new group of characters were introduced.  This just wasn't for me.
