In the Upper Country by Kai Thomas

Listened to the audio book and didn't finish. Gave up with about 4.5 hours left to listen so way over half way, but I just lost interest in continuing and I finally decided to move on to something else.
A real shame as parts of the book were compelling and really sucked me into the story but other parts rambled and became too complicated to keep track of all the characters, and I found myself a bit lost and disinterested. When was it? Present or past? Who exactly was talking and how did we wind up here? If a story is really gripping me and I get lost I'll take the time to find my way back up to speed but this one just lost me and I didn't care enough to go back over it.
I had high hopes and I'm sad I couldn't plough through it.
