The Distant Hours by Kate Morton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
An intriguing gothic tale of family secrets... intriguing after the first 300 pages, that is. The pieces of the story built so slowly, switching points of view and jumping back and forth through time so often, that it took 300 pages for me to begin to care or develop an attachment to any of the characters. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood - I've enjoyed similar books, but for some reason this one didn't grab me. It was still good enough that I persevered, and I was finally rewarded. The last 200 pages were haunting.
