I usually love her books. I had a difficult time with the first third or so of this one. Not because it wasn't good, but because of baggage from my past, which made me dislike the protagonist (until I couldn't anymore) and jabbed painfully at some old wounds.

By the middle of the book, though, I was hooked, and she carried me the rest of the way, borne on the development of her characters and her willingness to explore issues from multi-layered perspectives.
