I really loved this one! Turnbull has a gift for creating vivid characters with deeply interconnected lives and a rich world whose glimpses leave me really wanting to know more.
That said, despite being 400 pages long, for a character-driven book the characters were hard to keep track of. I had to read it twice to fully appreciate the first half of the book as I had trouble keeping up with who was who and how they were all related to one another. Then again, I suppose there's something to be said for a book that made me want to read it twice; the characters were hard to keep up not despite being such a rich, well connected-story, but because the writing was so good.
