Quite charming. If you're up to the task of reading some 700 pages of a somewhat slow-paced but nonetheless interesting novel, then please try it. She has a way with the characters. The fact that she can write about nearly 30 different characters and their unfolding lives in one novel is a great feat. The fact that their lives are a bit like soaps (unexpected parentage, unwanted pregnancies, rebellious daughters and such) but thankfully without the melodramatic style.
